Overk** - k**ing for a Living lyrics

A sense of peace was falling on the universal night And it gave me a pause to reason why I live To never cease the calling of the consequential right And it gave me cause and reason why they give The first thing I remember was the shadow 'cross my heart And they matched the beauty hidden in their soul The next was 'cross the universe, as it came apart And the sum of the parts became whole Stalking and hunting, profession in blood Working the night to a throne Chalking an outline, experience must Invisible, never alone I can take you anywhere Take all that you give I can free you from despair k**ing just to live Live to k** k** to live k**ing for a living, k**ing just to live I looked across the answers, though questions didn't exist And found that I was never alone We cut away the cancer and continued to resist But the outcome of the night remained unknown The next thing I remember were the years across my face And they matched only the beauty of scars The next was 'cross the universe into time and space And to know together, we'd have to go too far Bleeding a nation, casualty time Breaking the back of the core Promised salvation, a casual crime Feeding and f**ing the who*e Make my living on borrowed time I make the clock stand still Keep my hands 'round what is mine Living just to k** Live to k** k** to live C'mon, now, k** a little kindness, give the worst of your best C'mon, now, and shake a little madness, put the dead to rest I can give you reasons, 2-5 to the bone They can give you all you ever wanted When you're far away from home C'mon, now, k** a little kindness, give the worst of your best C'mon, now, and shake a little madness, put the dead to rest So as the plot will thicken and time is not a friend The blessing comes but one in a life Across the crowded universe that hastens to an end Through memories of one time in a night And what will I remember through the by and by To have and hold and turn about the chill That this was not the pause to die But to live to k**
