Lyrics Blameless - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Blameless

Why didn’t I just walk away?
I saw what they’d done to boys who refused to bow down to them
If only I were a setting sun
I’d burn right through the core of the earth to warn you about it
The latest trend is to pretend
And know what’s all around
And you stare at the ceiling and leave me to steal from you
You’re walking away now, but I will not take anything
What’s done is done
Set them up, I will knock them down
What brought you to be stranded like me in this blameless American town?
Don’t let them get to you
Did you think they’d be tying your shoes
Did you think they’d be bringing you around?
Your will just bends, you pretend
That no one’s around
You stare at the ceiling, and leave me to steal from you
You’re walking away now, but I will not take anything
What’s done is done
And the farmer’s lost to quicksand now, it is done
And I haven’t the strength for to fix it now, it is done
Tell my mother I’ll meet her in the silo full of leaves
And the softer touches will keep us from gnawing at the earth
And swinging at the breeze, and suddenly I
