lyrics

As the sun
Rubs its eyes goodnight
The waves are crashing a purple hue
Onto themselves
A hundred times again

While these rocks
Weren’t always the same
Yeah I’m certain of this
And it makes me less afraid
Of the changes you might make

There’s smoke in my eyes for the last time
I feel busy
I feel like new
While my friends were out finding Jesus
I just found my shoes.

What will my children take from me
Or will they resent me entirely
Your eyes, your eyes they’re so familiar
The blood in your chest must be mine

When I go I wont go softly
I wont go quietly like old men do
When I go, I wont go softly

There’s smoke in my eyes for the last time
I feel busy
I feel like new
Remember me, by my hair and teeth
They’re the only pieces worth keeping

They say these hands were made
To take a thing or two
So I’ll make a fist while you’re around
keep it till you’re gone

But if you cut me off one more time
I’ll cut out your tongue
And hang it on my wall
So now my walls can talk

They’ll say:

“These things will go my way from here on out”
