Daniel Amos - The Ruthless Hum Of Dread lyrics

I opened the wrong door Got somewhat famous for Getting all my wires crossed I nod to give the impression I'm clearly hearing the directions Can't admit when I get lost Fake like I'm up to speed And I don't need the help to read That blur of writing on the wall But I'm not fooling anyone I'm always tired and on the run In my head, here it comes Ruthless hum of dread I try to listen again to your voice drowning in My blood flowing hot as lead As night fears slip in between hissing sheets and springs And in the folds of my sibilant bed Fists are pounding on the door Cracks are forming on the floor And the needle's banging red Yeah guilt's a hardball fever pitched Strikes the target, flips the switch In my head, here it comes Ruthless hum of dread In a pauper's field of dreams I'm walking in between open-mouthed graves Anxious to be fed And all my buried intentions are groaning for transition In the raising of the dead A skip, a flutter, a stop-and-start A heart-ruined rhythm driven by the ba** drum thump of meds All the years, every mile Another upturn on the dial In my head, here it comes Ruthless hum of dread Let me go deep inside your safehouse love and light Beyond the clang of the alarm And imagine a long rest Last kisses and a sweet d**h Free to float above your arms Into the company of angels A final turning of the tables My old flesh a misery shed Forever young and light enough To dance among The stars above My head, my head My head, my head
