Take one for the road
Take one for the team
We stalk, we're lions in the creek.
Lions in the creek.
Take one for the town,
Take one on the knee,
When everything you love is nothing but a dream.
Take another round
Back to the good old boys who'll let you down.
Not easy, not easy.
We'll crucify them now,
String em up for not believing in the things that we believe in.
How can you grow up now,
in a wolf's den of regression and secession from the things we should progress in?
Go flaunt yourself around.
Open that umbrella in the house of God.
Let the walls fall, the rain in.
Rain on down,
Sing the vespers, chant the same old sounds,
Two thousand years.. why go and change it now?
The first few months are hard,
So fill us up with doubt and break our hearts.
Cast you out with sin and shame and want,
all in the name of God we grow, we grow.
In the name of God we reap and sow.
In the name of God, we take, you owe.
Everything you make, we take, you owe.
Take one for the road
Take one for the team
We stalk, we're lions in the creek.
Lions in the creek.
Take one for the town,
Take one on the knee,
When everything you love is nothing but a dream.
I fear for you love.
The world you're about to meet is so unclean, and so ugly and obscene.
We'll try our very best to sort out all the rest,
The ghouls, the goblins, and the sand man from your dreams.
Oh..
How we'd build ourselves four walls with no doors?
How do we tear it down without breaking up our home?
Now break yourself apart, down to skin, cells, and bones.
Down to blood and parts.
Back to the start, rearrange your thoughts.
Redesign your heart, and don't go fucking up.
Cause any scratch that you make, it goes deeper than you'll see,
Down to the root, down to the core.
It's what you'll always be.
If you have a fondness for expertly wrought roots-rock with sharp lyrics and aching vocals, look no further—“Strangers” is for you. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 8, 2022
