lyrics

I don't want to die before my time
But if my time is twenty-nine, then I'll be fine, I'll be fine

I'll leave my songs for when I'm gone
Pretty words for ugly wrongs
They'll paint me needy, they'll paint me spineless
Greedy too, but I'll be timeless
Wind up these strings and clear my throat
I'll wander everywhere that I've not known
I'll eat when I'm hungry and drink when I thirst
Sing myself to sleep when I'm hurt

I'm sorrow-bound, I can't say where I'll next be found
Underground or the next town
The stones I've thrown will mark my final home
Once I've lost that moan

No sense of worth, not an ounce of wealth
Only a guitar and contempt for myself
My fingers falter, my heart it squanders
All that love has placed upon my altar
Cut off my hands and quiet my tongue
I can't forgive myself for what I've done
My hands offend and these eyes can't forget
Only away from myself may I find rest

I'm sorrow-bound, I can't say where I'll next be found
Underground or the next town
The stones I've thrown will mark my final home
Once I've lost that moan

I don't want to die before my time
But if my time is twenty-nine, then I'll be fine, I'll be fine
