Lawrence Arms - Requiem Revisited lyrics

[Whispers]

His dreams gone, and all the smiles have faded

they call him mask to kill the child who came in

(oh)

These hands beat red

with those mercy killings

good eye, dead man

you hit your mark again

These hands beat red

with those mercy killings

good eye, dead man

you hit your mark again

oh!

And now his words beg for same damn thing now;

to return to someplace far behind now

(oh)

this arm has broken more china than you know

these fists are squeezed too tightly ever to let go

these are the syncopations of these weary bones, bones

These hands beat red

with those mercy killings

good eye, dead man

you hit your mark again and

This time, this time, this time

I walk these avenues to find

The place where I can let these dreams and demons go...

and finally rest my weary bones, bones, bones, bones
