Kids Lyrics by IDLEHANDS

Common Soul

2012

We sleep alone or with our chores
We feed on knives because we’re poor

Wait in line with the stars that all froze in mime

Call us men, and pay our sinner’s fee
I admit I put it on so well (So well)
Take the nails right out of me, melt them down for you to keep
So well, so well, so well

Skill is sold off like an old bride
A bargain buys

I could clench my throat, but a closed mouth won’t sing
Therefore, indoor kids can’t adapt to
To notes and strings
I could clench my throat, rip out my lungs, pour in the smoke
Blind our lives to what keeps below

Stop spending so much time coating the inside of lost sight
Leaving the ghost to paint us bright
Trapping your dead while another key was struck in red

I could clench my throat, but a closed mouth won’t sing
Therefore, indoor kids can’t adapt to
To notes and strings
I could clench my throat, rip out my lungs, pour in the smoke
Blind our lives to what keeps below

We can only be as sad as our fathers
We’ll only eat what our mothers allow us to take
We can only take the same drinks as our fathers
It's all that our mothers pray us to be

Take the nails right out of me, melt them down for you to keep
So well, so well, so well

I could clench my throat, but a closed mouth won’t sing
Therefore, indoor kids can’t adapt to
To notes and strings
I could clench my throat, rip out my lungs, pour in the smoke
Blind our lives to what keeps below

Blind our lives to what keeps below

Every sunken moment in our lives is what buys your blackout nights
