Conor Oberst - Opened And Spent lyrics

The air was all dust, the night so untamed The ground opened up and swallowed all of the rain It swallowed you too into greatness unknown They sat down at dinner and waited for you to get home They set a place for you so don't believe everything that you read in that diary of yours And this nervousness isn't all your fault These shaky hands won't do what I want them to And I tried to guess what it is you thought About the lack of compa**ion that breathes through the holes in my skin What are you crying for? Just dust my heart and you will find no fingers printed there The untouched place that lies inside of every lonely boy tonight And this opened air has caused me to choke On your new found hope in me
