Joseph Arthur And The Lonely Astronauts - Dead Savior lyrics

We are born alone and weak Back to black old and meek Our time here is so short Right to life or abort I don't know or who could say When all that comes will go away Some are victims, some are slaves Some are sunshine, some are graves Some are lost, some are found Some are tight and some unbound Could you ever come back through Without becoming back and blue Your words are hollow, your voice is noise You practice lines for all the boys You play with people just like games You're good with faces but you're bad with names Nothing's true if nothing's not You're never colder than when you're hot Well There really ain't no more surprises Like a dead savior One that never rises You got two faces, one is d**h You taught yourself to steal their breath The other face lights the room Like the mask of love and doom Who are you? Or who could say? But very few can ever get away The scared were never born that way But slowly made from day to day From night to night, from year to year They swallowed almost every tear The flesh will k** the spirits hold And most will do what they've been told Well There really ain't no more surprises Like a dead savior One that never rises You hang with priests, you hang with thugs On mountain tops and under rugs You change your name every day No one knows who you are that way You read the signs with empty eyes And give your love to alibis Get me back, get me in With you it's either the saving or the sin I've been bought but you've been sold Never hotter than when you're cold Well now I want to disappear And get myself away from here Well There really ain't no more surprises Like a dead savior One that never rises
