silverdale - 9 Lyrics

Kitchen kids all know
What to make to feed their own

Dirty floors, crooked teeth
Come and lay your heart, lay your heart down

Entitled thoughts float up there
Fingers clutched stiffer still

There's spirits in those clouds
Come and pull your head, pull your brain down

Try it on, wear it out
No handouts, it's practiced, it's earned
Try it on, wear it out
Can't hand down what you won't learn
Comfortable skin to live in
Is yours if you stomach your worst

Red bricks all know
Where to rest, to feed shadows

I saw spirits in that dirt
Come and hold your body, hold your body down

Try it on, wear it out
No handouts, it's practiced, it's earned
Try it on, wear it out
Can't hand down what you won't learn
Comfortable skin to live in
Is yours if you stomach your worst

It's the weight around a neck
A mantra made of stone
Could it drown us
When we need it the most
Burn out somewhere safe
Lay your old shape down
Make your way up high
Back down to the ground
