Patina Lyrics


This record is my grave

But it isn't where I lay

The needle is in place

But the music doesn't play

I couldn't last

And neither will you

If we're alone in this

Then we're alone as two

And I admire

The men who never got old

Men who had to die

Men who dared to be bold

And I admire

Your heart

I admire your heart

Your heart

Those who abandoned their vision

Are left to wander the dark

Blackness absolute

Void in their hearts

Now, virtuous men

Who dared to persist

Are grand sleeping statues

Covered in birds, patina and shit

You and me

Let's put a deal in place

I'll cut you once

For each day that you waste

Make it a sport

An act of defiance

Let's shed some blood

It's in our talents

A little house in the prairie

A little spot in the cemetery

You and me

A deal in place

A single cut

For each day that you waste now
