Weathered Lyrics

Intro: (This riff plays throughout most of the song.)
Verse 1:
You were awakened.
I was never asleep.
I was just drilling some holes in my head that perpetually...
bleeeeeeddddddd.
You fed your senses.
I made art of myself.
I drew bear claws on my chest and third eyes on my head looking...
doooooooooooown.
Bridge 1:
It was live, it was all live ammunition in the gun.
And I meant it, every bullet, and I hope they all stung,
'Cause that's what I deal with every time
I lift up the back of my shirt and I show you what
you drew that night with a Swiss Army Knife saying
it was only maps of constellations.
Solo:
(Play intro riff.)
D D/A G/B :4x
Verse 2:
Your hands were shaking.
Mine were stiff as stones.
They said grab a hold. We said f**k off we'll find our way
hoooooooome.
My blood was burning.
Yours was spilling out.
We said we'd fly to the ends of the earth just to find
ourselves. Ooohhh.
Bridge 2:
(Play bridge riff.)
And your heart, it was not there
when I needed it the most.
I was floating. It was grounded,
getting buried too deep to stay close.
And I swore I'd dig it up someday,
build a fire just to keep it warm.
Then we'll get off the ground and drink rain from the clouds
and go dance out in the storm.
Verse 3:
D D/A G/B :3x
Ooooohhhhhhhhh
Because birds we fly together.
I feel tethered, de-feathered, and weathered.
A push at its best would get me out my nest
then I'll never come home.
It was love. It was true love,
not that sh*t sold from Hallmark, Hol-lywood, or Wal-Mart.
Losing twelve years worth of soul mates,
and it's harder and realer than anything I've ever felt.
Outro:
