This Life as a Dagger lyrics

It took me almost a year to come

I thought I'd appear here prior

Therefor shorter was the time

Until I found the place you sleep

Our past caught up with me again

This horizon of mountains, as always threatening

Rose up behind me, anything but well-disposed

Like an all shattering orb

Well, that escalated quickly, unsurprisingly

Cause as we know now, we were raised by wolves

So take care if you fuck with the past

The past at least won't fuck you

Never ever this melancholy will pass

I set a foot in our city

And I feel so relegated

The days we lived here as kids

Don't seem too far gone

As we hid in these fields together

And bolt into the rye

I destroyed their childhood memories

In getting one thing straight

And in doing so, I tried to set their world on fire

Now I came for your graveyard

For the very first time these days

Finally set out for a fleeting visit

In the dead of a night

I carried this picture for the last

Two hundredth and eighty days

Just to put it near your last smile,

So near, but far beyond

Then I did all my tweak

And sniffed it off your tombstone

Oh believe me brother, I gulped it all in one

I'll never write peace on your wings

And let you simmer wordlessly

You promised me, that if we leave this place

We set free as one

But you spoke the words of a coward

Fuck! What have you done?!

Now I will smell their scorched earth

Until I retire my own worn body

Or I will finally choke on this city's mephitic air

Never ever this melancholy will pass

I set a foot in our city

And I feel so relegated

The days we lived here as kids

Don't seem too far gone

As we hid in these fields together

And bolt into the rye
