Buried Beds - Your Modern Age lyrics

Old ties to hold us while we're swinging
No lines to help define the meaning
Of a ship to surely drown

Weak heart much better for the breaking
False start toward a
Prize that's worth the taking
And a call you hear it now

But oh, they don't see it as it's so
And they will never throw their stones-
So don't you dare leave it alone
Love lost (did you ever really feel it?)
What cost? (All told would you believe it?)
All these relics washed ashore

Young man with bones so full of lightning
Red hands show us where to dry em'
Cause the wolf is at your door

Now go, bend those bars and let them roam
Map the sky and point them home
They'll never fly with broken bones

Now that you understand
You're laying waste to your father's plans
For your modern age modern age-

Oh, won't you understand
The child must take from the father's hand
For your modern age modern age modern age

Hold tight, the generation fleeting
Make right the wrongs that bear repeating
Cause they're holding up the line

Our day, it's never been so generous and
Make way the walls are caving in on us
And taking up our time

But no, they don't see it like it's so
And they will never throw their stones-
So don't you dare leave it alone

Now that you understand
You're laying waste to your father's plans
For your modern age modern age-

Oh, won't you understand
The child must take from the father's hand
For your modern age modern age modern age

Oh, your patience willing
Will lay love right at your feet
Such old and empty honesty

Is always as it seems
So just stay to your corner just stay

Modern age
