lyrics
I woke up this morning
found myself dead
what about this cloud parading in my head
I told you so long goodbye
after we broke bread
we don't stop this therapy until the last leg
There is no choking doubt
we have forgotten our names
yet all find out on our knees
it's all the same
Sweetest of this world wishes worn dry
can't say the same for this old man's eye
if you're gonna spit blood do it outside
no worries I'm already down
So it's alright, it's alright
So it's alright, it's alright
If you're gonna spit blood, do it outside
I said it's alright, it's alright
In this city of ghosts
what matters the most
what matters matters the most
kings, queens, guillotines
even if you knew what all that means
you'd sit up right in the wrong
honoring the fear for far too long
For lust, love, and illegal tender
talented ambivalence, what could be better
If you're gonna spit blood, do it outside
so it's alright, it's alright
Don't die on me soul
lord have mercy I go, I go on
losing luster through stained glass
what'll come your way it'll pass
I'm tired so tired
Oh foolish heart what have you desired
So it's alright, it's alright
So it's alright, it's alright
If you're gonna spit blood, do it outside
I said it's alright, it's alright
