Lyrics Dead Landmines - TW Walsh

Dead Landmines

Sit it out for a single life
Don’t ask me why
It might just change your mind
Look past who you think you are
Cuz it doesn’t change with space
Or across time
Go straight to the darkest place
And bring the light that makes
The past seem blind
Carry on the memory
Of people loved in dreams
Of future lives
The father lives and the father dies
The heart bleeds out through the eyes
It’s fine
The bear sleeps in the forest pines
The child skips through the dead landmines
It’s fine
My paycheck’s on time
Wait around for the afterlife
But nothing’s next but nothing’s
Left behind
Trapped on the gentle slope
Of a metal roof
Above the diamond mine
You need dough but your belly knows
The gold’s all gone
And the market’s in decline
The roof caved, the sun collapsed
But the backward waves
Will show you how to climb
The father lives and the father dies
The heart bleeds out through the eyes
It’s fine
The hermit saves a billion lives
While the bats fall from the skies
It’s fine
The athlete runs across the line
The corporation just pays a fine
It’s fine
The bear sleeps in the forest pines
The child skips through the dead landmines
It’s fine
My paycheck’s on time
