Matthew And The Atlas - Veins of Your History lyrics

How long will your crowns stay gold? Will it slip away and leave when you're old? I'll wait where the tall tree bends If you find me, I'll be with you near the end How long before that fear sets in? Will it come to you to wash away your sin? How long before you cut me down to size? However long it takes you to realize Oh, my love - you're not alone Oh, my love - you're not alone And you move around in this city It's veins shaped your history I know you've been far from home - And that medicine cuts right to the bone I see the grief got caught on your face Running from a nameless place Go tell your father you didn't mean to lie Don't worry about us - we'd never ask you "why?" Oh, my love - you're not alone Oh, my love - you're not alone You'll take off your sides That river runs wide You'll wait where only better winds have blown For a little peace of mind - it's a hard way to be For a little peace of mind - that's a hard way to be
