Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Today I am stitched up and sewn
Catch me up, I've got warmth in my bones
Locks 'em down, you thought you could throw away
I found my legs
[Verse 2]
Ready to climb out from under concrete
Only I get to be sickened by me
My body is smudged, can't make out the details
Why start over? Give it to me
[Chorus]
Exhume our idols, bury our friends
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
We're sick with worry, these nervous days
We live on dread in our own gilded age
[Verse 3]
This dark world is precious to me
My scars make me breathe in so deep
My body has no need for sleep
This time around
[Verse 4]
Ready to find fragments of stillness
Only I get to be punished by me
Your voice is a crumb, it leads me from the wildness
Why start over? Forget everything
[Chorus]
Exhume our idols, bury our friends
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
We're sick with worry, these nervous days
We live on dread in our own gilded age
[Bridge]
Make me a headline
I wanna be that bold
Make me a spotlight
So I can see the gold
[Bridge]
Make me a headline
I wanna feel that bold
Make me a spotlight
So I can see the gold
[Chorus]
Exhume our idols, bury our friends
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
We're sick with worry, these nervous days
We live on dread in our own gilded age
[Outro]
We speak in circles, we dance in code
Untamed and hungry, on fire in the cold
Exhume our idols, bury our friends
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
