Murder By Death Shiola Lyrics

Shiola Lyrics

I steal a look between the blinds

I unwind 

she sleeps in comfort in my arms

She is plain but she is mine

Our child is silent but awake

I run my hands through his hair

I teach him manners and how to stick up 

For himself when things get bad



I tell him son never through the first punch

And If you must fight, make it clean



SHIOLA, SHIOLA, will all be forgiven?

SHIOLA, SHIOLA, Am I strong enough to start again alone?



The taste of home is filling up my mouth

Is it wrong to love a family of ghost

Her door is open the windows are all up

She says "come inside"



I live alone more or less

I summon, child and happiness

Build them up from the dirt and clay

I have to believe that all will be forgiven



SHIOLA, SHIOLA, will all be forgiven?

SHIOLA, SHIOLA, am I strong enough to start again alone?

SHIOLA, SHIOLA, my heart is overflowing

SHIOLA, SHIOLA, with love and anger coiled into one

They take and take

But never get their fill

I try and try

But fail against my will

I wait and wait for that hand to sweep me up

And take me down that road
