Lyrics of Slickleg - Mastodon

Long and frayed
Static surrounds us
Break the free fall
Safely land

When man can climb to see
His rejection
Spirit'll burn
Evaporate

I left you in the wind
To pull the scraps together
I'm the one who sinned
There's more for me to weather

Complications
Of loss and of gain
The grace he gave
Is filling the void

How to proceed
With new direction
As photographs
Melt away

I left you in the wind
To pull the scraps together
I'm the one who sinned
There's more for me to weather

Waiting
For the Sun to rise
So I can
Say my last goodbye

All that I needed from you was your warm embrace
Turns out
That was mine to give

Fools play into broken plans
Tuned straight
From servants' hand

Reaping
Ill-gotten gains
Bleeding
This love away

Coming
Home to rescue me
The fate of man resides in empathy

Seems my foundation is shaking and giving way
Look for my hand reaching up from this rubble and clay

It's too late
My hearts away
It's too late
Reborn again

I left you in the wind
To pull the scraps together
I'm the one who sinned
There's more for me to weather
