The Days Engrave

Like the hills as they rise
 Like the stones creepin' under your feet
 Like the dead open sky high
 The one damn time you need something to drink
 Like the road ever-long
 Left to suffer without a song
 Like all the doors open wide
 The one damn time that you need a place to hide
 It's been a long time coming
 All my pages fingerstained
 And though my heart is still pumping
 Across my face,
 How the days engrave
 Your word against mine
 Your god against my everything
 My fist in your eye
 And I don't care if it don't solve a goddamn thing
 And so we strain
 Tight corners we fight and we pray
 'Till the road that was is blown all to hell
 And probably by us
 It's been a long time coming
 All my pages fingerstained
 And though my heart is still pumping
 Across my face,
 How the days engrave
 And it's been a long time coming
 All my pages fingerstained
 And though my heart is still pumping
 Across my face, oh lord across my face
 How the days engrave
 Like the hills as they rise
 Like the stones creepin' under your feet
 Like the dead open sky high
 The one damn time you need something to drink
