Sackcloth In Ashes - Small Leaks Sink Ships

The scent of sulfur is strong

The matches are gone

And I’m watching bad books burning

The scent of sulfur is strong

The matches are gone

And I’m watching bad books burning

The scent of sulfur is strong

The matches are gone

And I’m watching bad books burning

And how could it be that

The people they read

And don’t remember anything?

Tear off the pieces

Of words in this book

So I can restore clear vision

I tried lies (they cripple crowded rooms and)

Lies take way too much time to climb a mountain

I hope that you know that I cried 'til I fell asleep

It was the best thing

By design, you’re dragging, awake dreaming

And I’ll make it seem we’re draggin'

We’re draggin' all the way home

Now a fool-hearted pawn

The insane are gone

And I’ll release all your patience

Stop this bus without breaks

The rest will be cake

As long as we just continue

Be alone, I’ll just be

Alone I’ll find out

What’s wrong with this situation

The scent of sulfur is strong

The matches are gone

And I’m watching bad books burning

The scent of sulfur is strong

The matches are gone

And I’m watching bad books burning

I ripped the jaw of the lion’s mouth

Beside the flock of foolish sheep

Where I will stop with naked feet

I hope that you know that I cried 'til I fell asleep

It was the best thing

And by design, you’re dragging, awake dreaming

And I’ll make it seem we’re draggin'

We’re draggin' all the way home

And put billboards up

Spread this noose

And rip people from their caves

And show them something real

I tried lies (they cripple crowded rooms)

Lies take way too much time to climb a mountain

Fed up too many times and the plate is still full

Scents and depictions of wise men and fools

Nothing but truthfulness and nothing but lies

In between martyrs for gold coins and glass

Picture me first and then picture me last

Not enough smooth stones to go around here

Too many rough roads and painted in fear

And don’t forget, please, the steps I have taken

To get you as far as to not be awakened

In my own mouth

In my own mouth

In my own mouth

In my own mouth

In my own mouth
