City And Colour - Thirst lyrics

When I think of fates worse than d**h All I can think of is something you said You said we were golden, bright like the sun And now I am stranded Knowing I'm not the one An ocean of anger Flowing through me Blood stained and broken From when I fell to sea And just like a snake charmer You led me astray Living in distress Hoping help is on the way In the midst of a storm Searching for shelter I came upon One single feather A half-hearted wish For something better Gracefully cursed, I thirst Attached to the soil I'm guiding the wool As I am in my blood Yet so venerable But after I'm gone Once I finally leave You will be left alone To the wolves and the thieves
