these woods would have blood

sip you into sweet sap and whisper you on the breeze

these roots would bend for you

feel their fingers reaching from beneath

​

CHORUS

dreams die by daylight

so, hold me tight and

never come morning

​

they tell you to be good

i never got much just from doing what i should

they tell you not to lie

seems to me only death tells the truth all the time

​

but you keep on failing up

you're bound to push your luck

and won't be allowed among us honest thieves

you needs just look around

see your brethren bound among the leaves 

​

CHORUS

dreams die by daylight

so, hold me tight and

never come morning

all we've got are stories

so, hold me close and

never come morning

​

shuffle off your flesh

raise up your bones

consume what's left 

​

we never have heard one word about wrong or right

so, if god's not dead, we're gonna kill him tonight 

​

CHORUS
