"Jaws Of Life" lyrics
"Jaws Of Life"
The crow inside your hollow chest
It calls for me, it calls for me
It sings the song of emptiness
To her I say
There's nothing more to do
The die is cast
And now you must receive it
And if there's one thing I know is true
All that's left is learning to believe it
'Cause nothing changes the direction that time flows
A dying rose, a metaphor
Just walk away, just walk away
You know we've both been here before
And just like then
There's nothing you can do
The bones are thrown
And nothing's going to save it
And all we thought we knew
Is now a ball and chain
So let's just leave it
'Cause nothing ever really goes backwards
A broken heart makes broken legs
You're seeing red, you're seeing red
Your empty hands will find their necks
So keep them filled, avoid regrets
When all you see is suffering
It's time for you to find your bed
When all is dark, and all is bled
Pack your bags and leave your head
The jaws of life will splay your chest
And let out all the emptiness
And you will finally know the rest
That only comes
When all that's left to do
Is say the words you've always sworn you wouldn't
And this I swear is true
There's no more reason for you to avoid it
Yeah, let's build another pyre and burn this

That I could meet the boss
And be disabled
I thought that I was born again
Not gonna sin again

Of Monsters And Men - "Mountain Sound" I heard them calling in the distance
So I packed my things and ran
Far away from all the trouble
I had caused with my two hands
Alone we travelled armed with nothing but a shadow
We fled far away...
The Oh Hellos - "Bitter Water" Oh fair and flighty love
My aerolite above
The only dove I see
Could you love me more
If by the sun and moon I swore
That I would never flee?
I still taste you on my lips
Lovely bitter water

Hollow Coves - "The Woods" We're all falling and
We need a place to hide
A safe place somewhere in the woods
We can start a fire
All we know is what will be
Our home
We will stay
Till the break of dawn
The cold night takes us...
Passenger - "Shape Of Love" I only came inside to get out of the rain,
And by the looks of things she may well have done the same,
But I swear I know that face but I don’t know her name,
She’s the shape of love.
I stir my tea...
