lyrics

Time turns young liars to old thieves
Turns young lions to old beasts
Bottled and fizzy for release

I came bearing gifts
You came baring teeth
Untapped and wanting release

Chorus
We wait until the morning gives us up for dead
Feign our sleep, untired, in an unmade bed
The hand that floats and scrawls
The writing on the wall
It’s a bit Old Testament
The way we face it all

Kill your darlings with half truths
Cash the check in one-two
Youth is wasted on the youth

I came bearing gifts
You came baring teeth
Untapped and wanting release

Chorus

Instrumental

Chorus 2:
We wait until the morning gives us up for dead
Feign our sleep, untired, in an unmade bed
And now the gun from on page one
Begs for reprieve
It’s a bit New Testament
Ask and you receive

Kill your darlings with half truths
Cash the check in one-two
Youth is wasted on youth
