Safety Jobs lyrics
bones will break so faith will shake
turns out all i wanted was
some peace of mind, a stretch of time
a place where i can rest my head
sick with age and you share my pain
turns out all i wanted was
the string untied, to lose then find
the meaning of the turbulence
i can leave but the room�ll stay
it never cared either way
what�s a choice without an end
i never knew where it went
knots are tied and the edges fray
i never cared either way
what�s a choice without an end
i never knew what it meant
bones will break so faith will shake
turns out all i wanted was
some peace of mind, a stretch of time
a place where i can rest my head
what�s a choice without an end
i knew never what it meant
waiting for the string to unwind
to run my finger through
what a tangled mess it is, i see it now
now�s the time to rest you said
you�ve done enough
(but where did it go)
with such clarity i see
i haven�t done that much
(but what do i know)
can�t i see i�m waiting most my life
but i was never you
what a tangled mess we are, i see it now
now�s the time to rest you said
you�ve done enough
(but where did it go)
with such clarity i see
i haven�t done that much
(but what do i know)
i�ll hide you beneath the floorboards
bury you in an old shoe box, in the backyard
i�ll hide you beneath the floorboards
bury you in an old shoe box, in the backyard
i forget you�re beneath the floorboards, i lose such track of time
i�m just a fraction of a world, indifferent to your plight
when i pulled up the floorboards, what did i expect to find
there is nothing left to see, when i question this life
won�t you just disappear anyway
won�t you just disappear anyway
we were so important to so few, i run my finger through
(now�s the time to rest, you said, you�ve done enough)
we were so important to so few, i run my finger through
(now�s the time to rest, you said, you�ve done enough)
bones will ache forget my name
remember there�s no such thing as fate
(i�ll take my chances though, i�ll take my chances though)
i�m not afraid just sick with age
remember to sit and wait
(just like my old man now, just like my old man now)
i�ll waste a life i�ll wait my turn
whatever�s left does not concern
(with each passing day, each day i�m less afraid)
afraid i can�t just toy with time
i know now what i have is mine
(nothing will ease this pain, nothing will ease this pain)
and now i�m resting my soul, i�m resting my mind
