Baths - Broadback lyrics

Broadback, you're our fortified wall
And all that
We'd hoped you could halt the attack
Broadback, they're well past fire and axe
God (I beg you) keep the sanctum intact

Should they bludgeon your redwood thighs
And you are left to writhe
Your body's not something I can carry back
Don't ask me to let you die

Broadback, remember the name you
Carved in the pew?
You're always in use my beautiful brute
Broadback, of course you're strong
And all that
But what hope am I should you collapse?

Should they bludgeon your redwood thighs
And you are left to writhe
Your body's not something I can carry back
And I don't want you to die

Don't want you to, don't want you to
Don't want you to die
Don't want you to, don't want you to
Don't want you to die

Bravery and dauntlessness say
Nothing of discretion
No matter what I do I won't
Get you to avoid a confrontation
Bravery and dauntlessness speak volumes
Less than caution
I won't be left alone with all your
Clothes and no reason to wash them

Don't want you to die
Don't want you to, don't want you to
Don't want you to die
Don't want you to, don't want you to
Don't want you to die
Don't want you to, don't want you to
Don't want you to die
Don't want you to, don't want you to
Don't want you to die

I'd make a horrid widower
You better come back alive
