Pearl Jam - Immortality lyrics
[Pearl Jam - Immortality lyrics]
Vengeance has no place so near to her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tear, vessel stabbed, next up
Volunteers? Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere
A truant finds home and a wish to hold on
But there's a trapdoor in the sun
Immortality
As privileged as a whore
Victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than thou
(how?) , surrendered, executed anyhow
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor
A truant finds home and a wish to hold on to
But saw the trapdoor in the sun
Immortality
Cannot stop the thought of
Running in the dark
Coming up a which way sign
All good truants must decide
Oh, stripped and sold mom
An auctioned forearm
And whiskers in the sink, truants move on
Cannot stay long some die just to live
