Matt Pond Pa Last Song Lyrics

Last Song Lyrics

Civilized all our lives

Not a breath

The grass unmoved

To sleep inside the stillness



Without blood, without air

All the stares

Averting eyes

This was what's worse than dying



My mind was set

Just like the sun's red

But now the sun is setting

There have been some



That cut me good

The blood was there for letting



The weekend nights

Can change your life

Unfold your arms

One last surprise

Something before we die



Our eyes closed

Once more will not roll

This killing is good killing

Despite the red and years and years of sinning

Elizabeth is winning



Bikes on dirt roads

In St. Andrews

Under pines, I'd let you win

Canada is purity

That has nothing to do with our skin



Unrefined

The pitch of pines

Grass stained shirts and fucked up hair

To breathe outside the stillness



With your blood and the air

Withstand the stares

Straighten eyes

We do not fear this dying



Our eyes are closed

Once more will not roll

This killing is good killing

Despite the red and years and years of sinning

Elizabeth is winning



Forget these lights

We don't need so much explaining

Elizabeth is winning
