Between the Leaves Lyrics by Austin Lucas

Immortal Americans

2018

[Verse 1]
It's impossible to sleep in a house with no curtains
While the sun is smilin', makin' it worse
When the only relief is a dream that springs from the black
On the back of the corpse of a horse
So I recklessly travel the lowest high road
Like a gale spit from the mouth of a storm
Brother, is this the life that I want?
Is it flesh? Is it breath? Is it bone?
Or is it only the air between leaves as they fall?
[Verse 2]
So the devil may dance in light that shines softly through stained
Panes of glass in my door
While sheets collect sweat like currency to spend
On affections of low-dollar whores
I long to better myself but only enough
To talk that big talk like every little brother does
Cry about what I deserve and what I want
When I've laid every brick from my home
Out of flesh, out of breath, and out of bone
And out of the air between leaves as they fall
[Verse 3]
When your last footstep rang and then faded away
I was freed from the absence of spark
I thought of your beauty on the day that we met
And the feel of your form in the dark
Not everyone is chosen or lucky enough
To be willing and around when a man longs to be loved
It sounds bad to say, but my intentions were good
I sought to lay bricks for a home
Out of flesh, out of breath, and out of bone
And out the air between leaves as they fall
