Pre(y)lude
from Shady Landlord EP by The Royal Bones
lyrics
I may be knocked off my feet
And the wind has left me
But my sails are still standing
Branches and rivers
My lungs are a wilderness
Every breath is a victory
I've still got the song in me
And my plan isn't simple
My heart sure ain't pure
But I've got a voice
And my words are the cure
Don't say my name
You don't talk about me anymore
You don't have to say my name
You'll sing it with the crowd
And my heart is back from the grave
You were always beneath me anways
And the wind has left me
But my sails are still standing
Branches and rivers
My lungs are a wilderness
Every breath is a victory
I've still got the song in me
And my plan isn't simple
My heart sure ain't pure
But I've got a voice
And my words are the cure
Don't say my name
You don't talk about me anymore
You don't have to say my name
You'll sing it with the crowd
And my heart is back from the grave
You were always beneath me anways
