Whittle Down the Days - Brave Bird

Life’s a mistake, we’re throwing the towel in

Everything I hate is fighting me back again

Lying down awake, I found in you

The means to fall forward, to say that I’m sorry

Laughing at the way I tell the truth

And I whittle down the days to lies for you

But when do I escape the hell that you sold me?

Because the little things we stay for always seem to change

I whittle down the days, I whittle down the days

(Nothing I can say, it’s the lie, it’s the lie I fear

Get out of my way, it’s the truth, it’s the truth, my dear

Nothing I can say, it’s the lie, it’s the lie I fear

Get out of my way, it’s the truth, it’s the truth, my dear)

Everyday we can die old in this town

Means any second I will stop feeling young now

I don’t know what I do when I’m by myself

Well, any second of the week I’ll be found out

Laughing at the way I tell the truth

And I whittle down the days to lies for you

But when do I escape the hell that you sold me?

Because the little things we stay for always seem to change

I whittle down the days, I whittle down the days

(Nothing I can say, it’s the lie, it’s the lie I fear

Get out of my way, it’s the truth, it’s the truth, my dear

Nothing I can say, it’s the lie, it’s the lie I fear

Get out of my way, it’s the truth, it’s the truth, my dear)

Laughing at the way I tell the truth

And I whittle down the days to lies for you

But when do I escape the hell that you sold me?

Because the little things we stay for always seem to change

I whittle down the days, I whittle down the days

(Nothing I can say, it’s the lie, it’s the lie I fear

Get out of my way, it’s the truth, it’s the truth, my dear

Nothing I can say, it’s the lie, it’s the lie I fear

Get out of my way, it’s the truth, it’s the truth, my dear)

I whittle down the days

I whittle down the days
