about

Back to the earth.

lyrics

It's the measure of a man
Sixteen scars on the back of my hand
45 years of lies and sin but
I didn't tell you to let me in

Do you want to lie in the dirt
Here beside me so we can flirt
Dozen years ago you told me
Babe I love you, let me in

Facts are only useful if
You have a lie or two to give
You can't have one without the other
And I can't tell you how to live

Rest in peace here lie in the dirt
Sleep is not a dirty word
Dreams are not a little death
You can always let me in

It ain't science
No bad or good
Nothing's righteous
Just bitter blood
It ain't science
No bad or good
Nothing makes it better
Just bitter blood

Nothing's sacred after dark
Meet me at midnight in the old ball park
Secrets told behind the pine trees
Always to protect your kin

Our roots are buried in the same place
That's why you're my mirror face
You don't have to get your hands dirty
I am not your beast within

When you turn to habit and ritual
The reasons I'm here become fictional
I'm not here to prop a martyr
No matter how deep the link

There's no fighting with your inner self
You lose that battle the deeper you delve
Fuck the face behind the mask
No matter how deep you sink

It ain't science
No bad or good
Nothing is righteous
Just bitter blood
It ain't science
No bad or good
Nothing makes it better
Just bitter blood

Ah our roots are buried in the same soil
Fuck it hurts, the blood boils
Fuck I hate how I hated myself
Why can't I just let you in

Our roots are buried in the dirt
Fuck the facts that left us hurt
This is why I keep my mouth shut
When I just want to breathe again

It ain't science
No bad or good
Nothing makes it better
Just bitter blood
