Every Time I Die - Old Light lyrics

I'm a great oasis Yeah I'm a mirage I'm a beam of old light from a vanquished star and I'll only guide you into the dark I'm a parasite with a tapeworm Yeah I got a bulletproof vest Knowing my bad luck I ain't ever gonna die so the good will never get any rest Come bail me out of the state I'm in The drinks I've had are no match for the truth The crowd down here put it's teeth in us But the cure's more dangerous than the venom is So we leave it in And we do those things that make us forget that we're dying here But we're dying here So love your blood while you can Let it warm your freezing hands I'm a dog-less master Yeah I'm a master-less dog When the whip and the tether are put aside forever I'm an ox that wanders into the swap I'm a rattlesnake across a braided rope I'm the demon on your side of the chalk If I caught them girls who started them fires They'll track me down in the fog Come bail me out of the state I'm in The drinks I've had are no match for the truth The crowd down here put it's teeth in us But the cure's more dangerous than the venom is So we leave it in And we do those things that make us forget that we're dying here But we're dying here So love your blood while you can Let it warm your freezing hands You put a hex me women You're a thinner, you're a thinner Yeah and these are nuclear winters Atomic black winters I kept the fire alive because I'm a sinner, I'm a sinner Come here and let me boil your blood I'm a train as long as the track I am concurrently outbound and just now getting back They strung me up by a rope as tall as the trees Though I land my two feet I still sway in the breeze
