Hope For Agoldensummer - Laying Down The Gun lyrics

When I was twenty-four, you pa**ed and sank into the floorboards When I was twenty-six, I found your body hidden and still Perfect I called Lou and we dragged you to the back room And as the soap washed away, your skin peeled and flayed And it turns out instead of blood, you got love songs traveling through your veins What I found were all the words you ever sang Tapped into the bones of your ribcage And I wept when I heard deep beneath your chest Beat as one of all the hearts of all the friends you loved best You're the lovers and the fighters Underground or on the park Pa** you off into the blue, stop wondering where our hearts had disappeared to Instead of stopping our hearts, we played music Because we're rock stars We come together and we work and we fall apart I play music because I'm in love with silence and sound Just like a machine, I picked up my pen and wrote this medicine down
