caethua - sons of the hounds lyrics

Loading...

imagine all those burning ships
put out by raging water
my family’s men made fast and crept
through burning seas together
oh, can’t you see it wasn’t me i’m too slow
oh, i couldn’t begin to understand i’m not a man

you always ask me why my voice can’t drink away
the sorrow
it creeps back in when no one sees and lives to beg
and borrow
oh can’t you see it’s k!lling me to no end
sons of the hounds come hither here gather my flesh

i wish i could live without sleep
and walk the woods to touch each leaf
and then go on to burning towns
in rusted cars to fields gone brown

and i will not
bleed to birth a breath so cold
or breed the day away away
of things i see
of open fires uncovered earth
you can’t tell me
there isn’t hope
the snow’s too thick
we must go home
before it sticks

the sun’s too hot
it boils our skin
it makes us look
like reddened kin

all the same to the naked eye
blistered and unwelcome
in cities gone and dustbowls dry
the future ocean’s dark home

gone, washed away
we couldn’t say why we don’t care
why can’t it all be for free
if not, unfair unfair

without a torch or a phone to call
to say we’re fine
and that we’ve got it all

cans of beer
and fishing hooks
filthy hands
and dirty looks
