lyrics: I've burn more children than you've had hot meals. I am still hungry you're still on your knees. I've buried families in cold hard ground. sometimes you ask me, what I think about.. I look at my fingers I count one to ten I look at my fingers you'll pass through them in the end. sometimes you ask me "will love survive?" sometimes I tell you "head towards the light." I've been a liar all of my life. the doors to the kingdom lock from the inside. I look at my fingers, I count one to ten, I look at my fingers, you'll pass through them in the end. note: yes, I'm pretty sure he sings "burn" intentionaly wrong. 1. bc its similarity to "born", 2. bc time does not apply to death, mixing tenses up / breaking time-forms is common practice in poetry.

lyrics:
I've burn more children
than you've had hot meals.
I am still hungry
you're still on your knees.
I've buried families
in cold hard ground.
sometimes you ask me,
what I think about..
I look at my fingers
I count one to ten
I look at my fingers
you'll pass through them
in the end.
sometimes you ask me
"will love survive?"
sometimes I tell you
"head towards the light."
I've been a liar
all of my life.
the doors to the kingdom
lock from the inside.
I look at my fingers,
I count one to ten,
I look at my fingers,
you'll pass through them
in the end.
note: yes, I'm pretty sure he sings "burn" intentionaly wrong. 1. bc its similarity to "born", 2. bc time does not apply to death, mixing tenses up / breaking time-forms is common practice in poetry.
