Shore Leave Lyrics by Lilac Kings

Love You More

2020

It’s the overwhelming politics that abound
This relationship of ours like ticks on a hound
Break bread with the heathen brother of mine
And leave me alone hanging out to dry
When I need to feel cleansed by the distant holy water
Sitting high and out of reach atop the alter
Where my unclean hands aren’t worth the time
Of the almighty, the righteous, the pure and divine
I can never forget the words she said
They haunt my memories and keep me in my head
The thought of summer day, June 17th
When I wanted to end it all and start over clean
A warm home never warmed my bones
A grown man weeps like a child lost at sea
But I found a boat and I’m getting that shore leave
A warm home never warmed my bones
Oh how my tired eyes long to see, the love I saw in an everlasting fantasy
Control of life is a lie that exists
Amongst the ones that control these bullshit politics
I see no reason not to let go of my burdens
When everything around me is seemingly always burnin’
I hope that one day I’ll be free of my pain
Glowing bright amidst a midsummers rain
Give me peace in a world that’s always in pieces
I’m still beaming with love even if it always misses
(Love exists in all of us, see the light shine through the dust) 2x
A warm home never warmed my bones
A grown man weeps like a child lost at sea
But I found a boat and I’m getting that shore leave
A warm home never warmed my bones
Oh how my tired eyes long to see, the love I saw in an everlasting fantasy
So Take me out to the middle
Where I’m alive with only the moon
Where I’m a cannibal and life is simple life is simple
I can’t be found I’ll never be found
A warm home never warmed my bones
A grown man weeps like a child lost at sea
But I found a boat and I’m getting that shore leave
A warm home never warmed my bones
Oh how my tired eyes long to see, the love I saw in an everlasting fantasy
