Loose End

Note: Incongruity of the second half is due to my inability to play the required bit on guitar. Hopefully the scaffolding isn't too offensive to the ears lol. --- Atom bomb, shorn men mark Immolate my mind and my sickly heart It’s all so clear, it’s all so clear, it’s all so clear—you could burn my sins away Free me - I’ll board the train As the sky turns grey ‘Cause I can’t bear to face the wolves We hate to see a good thing die How deeply my fear in memory’s sown You could never know As I fall into an autumn scene My bones exposed, my battered machine My loose-end worries leave my soul Everything’s outside my control So we’ll drift and sway As our forms die So we’ll drift and sway, as our forms die - But when the sun comes up again And burns us for our sin I’ll run and board the train Lest the world cover me again Loose end, loose ends They’ll stab me in the back again, and again, oh So we’ll drift and sway As our forms die
