death’s dynamic shroud
Deathless
[Verse 1]
Washing the blood out of his shirt
He never wanted anyone to get hurt
Favorite son; flash in the pan
He learned to read their faces
Like the back of his hand
[Chorus]
Why do you want it
When the color’s all wrong?
Why do you need it
When it’s already gone?
Weightless
Breathless
Fearless
Deathless
[Verse 2]
Easy way in, easy way out
A path of least resistance; nervous breakdown
Watching the fog settle in the hills
I’m sure the place is nice, but I don’t get the appeal
[Chorus]
Why do you want it
When the color’s all wrong?
Why do you need it
When it’s already gone?
Weightless
Breathless
Fearless
Deathless
[Bridge]
But it doesn’t really matter
The losers on the radio
Sing about whatever
And chew their Bloody Marys
So what if I don’t want it?
So what if I don’t have a god?
Give me all your money
Give up your fucking credit cards
Leave ‘em on the table
And make yourself invisible
It’s hard to be an artist
When everyone is cynical
Yes, I see the irony
Yes, I know the kettle’s black
Spare me the soliloquy
Just put the fucking cash in the bag
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Weightless
Breathless
Fearless
Deathless
[Bridge]
But it doesn’t really matter
The losers on the radio
Sing about whatever
And chew their Bloody Marys
So what if I don’t want it?
So what if I don’t have a god?
Give me all your money
Give up your fucking credit cards
Leave ‘em on the table
And make yourself invisible
It’s hard to be an artist
When everyone is cynical
Yes, I see the irony
Yes, I know the kettle’s black
Spare me the soliloquy
Just put the fucking cash in the bag
[Outro]
I dreamt of a jaguar
I dreamt of a jaguar
I dreamt of a jaguar
I dreamt of a jaguar
I dreamt of a jaguar
I dreamt of a jaguar
I dreamt of a jaguar
I dreamt of a jaguar
