Buried Beds - Your Modern Age lyrics
[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
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
