Leviathan Lyrics by Peter Oren

Living by the Light

2016

Never seen you running so low
Like you didn't have any air pressure in your tires
But you still had to go
Out to haul that chain in the rain
Cold toes in your shoes
Hollows in your cheeks and you're half confused
There's pain in your eyes
Wind in your ear whispering that banshee cry

And you can't sleep
After overnight another morning in your work week
You ain't free
Leviathan's dragging you into the sea

No use for the details in the sand
Maybe hope in seeing where the water meets the land
Treading water is the only plan
Left in the tool belt of the modern human

This prison's plush with faux-freedom
They'll still kill you for crossing the street and
Won't hear your words, they don't care for reason
Now disobedience is tantamount to treason
Truth it, god hates flags
Mark of the trade when draped over a casket
Markets left in the aftermath
Bet your ass the business class from war get cash back
