Dirt Poor Robins - Human After All

Love, your enemy is time.
Too soon to set it straight
Too late to keep you on the narrow

For this pressure on my chest that never lets me rest
Is building with each new tomorrow

For what we needed most was only just a ghost
A vapor trail, a plane gone by
A bridge of smoke that fades before our eyes

We'd cross the rope, but our balance is a joke
We're human after all, still there's no excuse to fall

This mortal will, more rust than flesh, turned by the creeping bitterness
Aging machines, no soul to offer
Crushed by the burdens of ours fears carried along for all these years
Programmed to flee, too weak to bother

What we needed most was only just a ghost
A vapor trail, a plane gone by
A bridge of smoke that fades before our eyes

We'd cross the rope, but our balance is a joke
We're human after all, still there's no excuse to-

Afraid of letting go, we claw the dirt and move the Earth
Reclaiming the rotting vessels of our love
Animating corpses to dance like they're rejoicing
As the audience is stifled by the actors in our show
But it must go on

We were the cause, we are at fault
We cannot draw from empty vaults
With vacant hands, we're left to ponder

If only then we had been told infatuations would grow cold
We might have more than ash to squander
I'll always wonder...

Was it a vapor trail?
A vapor trail
Are we a vapor trail?
Vapor trail.

I'm pretty sure I got the lyrics in the beginning completely wrong.

All the lyrics sites say it's "Loud, your memory is tied." I'm not saying you're wrong, they're hard to understand sometimes. XD

[VirtualKnight12]

@blindbandit5 That's because I submitted the lyrics to one of those sites. =P

[shirkersama]

I think the first line is "Loud, your enemy is time".

Thanks for uploading this, really getting in to this band lately.

[VirtualKnight12]

@shirkersama Ah, that makes much more sense. Thanks.

[robinfoutch]

This band should be more famous.

[cbchaseman]

@robinfoutch Understatement of the year! In a weird kind of way though, I'm glad they're not (more famous)

[shirkersama]

@kuronekochan44 You are right, I was correcting the "memory is tied" being "your enemy is time" part but didn't catch that it was love instead of loud for some reason.

[kuronekochan44]

@shirkersama that doesnt make sense, love would fit more, meanig in time, love can fall apart, why would that be "loud" ? :T

[kuronekochan44]

his voice <3

[Dogcatmouse900]

Holy cow. This is my new favorite band. Their lyrics are genius.

[VirtualKnight12]

@cbchaseman Thanks a ton! I bought The Last Days of Leviathan & The Cage from iTunes, so I don't have the liner notes, booklets, and all that other good stuff.

[cbchaseman]

@VirtualKnight12 The lyrics listed on the cd cover insert say "Love", not "Loud" for the first line.

The 11th line should read: "This mortal will, more rust than flesh, turned by the creeping bitterness"

Line 21 should read: "Reclaiming the rotting vessels of our love"

Line 27 should read: "With vacant hands, we're left to ponder"

The rest is correct.
