City Light Thief - City Light Thief lyrics

Speak the truth even if it makes your voice shake You backed up more than you could take So most nights you try to rest your head A droning fever gets you back Scattered in one hundred pieces that won't match A delay in your back and your toes at the edge All engines are go, you're the stick in the spoke The record of your failures is written all over your face And you can't cover that savage grimace No motion in your years of vice You're running out of alibis Speak the truth even if it makes your voice shake These hands are nothing but a keepsake How you used to be, all pristine and eager When you were a charmer, not a sleeper In the days when skins didn't stretch And you kept your gospels on the verge The record of your failures is written all over your face And you can't cover that savage grimace No motion in your years of vice, you're running out of alibis Another song just pa**ed you by Every single step you take seems to be improvised Between each interval the exact pause To bargain a dozen for a single cause In the end it's mine to choose what matters But I'm getting better, I'm getting there! The record of my failures is written all over my face And I can't cover that savage grimace No motion in my years of vice, I'm running out of alibis
