lirik lagu a. savage – thanksgiving prayer
[verse 1]
my money melts like sugar in the shower when i don’t sing
like a broken mockingbird that’s put in p~wn and traded in for diamond jewelry
that shines but only briefly like the golden heart of fall
where the afternoons went quickly and your breath floats in the final beams of evening
but i don’t need dollars, pounds, or pesos to know i am rich
i got people who allow themselves to love me and are insane enough to be loved
and it’s funny to think how much time we quietly spend apart
you don’t need to be a witness to have with~ness and i’m with you now, that’s certain
[chorus]
civilize me from the wilderness of constant mercy
guarding a nursery of light
that drifts inside me like a caravan of floating candles
trying not to capsize in the night
listen close to the dark
and write down what it says
like its words are your own
and dig a hole inside yourself and bury them there
[verse 2]
thanksgiving day is every day i write a song like this
when i get down on all four paws and drag myself by my own jaws toward a feeling
and a wise woman once told me no one has a single voice
you’re a chorus harmonizing or opposing voices rising
or a string of strangers waiting for their turn to speak
so every day, just ask yourself, who would you rather be?
a conductor or a cop or a night watchman slowly strolling an asylum
[chorus]
civilize me from the wilderness of constant mercy
cut like a kite string in a storm
drifts inside me like a caravan of floating candles
huddled in cl~sters to keep warm
at the end of the hunt
when you cut what you grow
will you have what you want?
and feast when fear is fleeced from the sheets of a ghost?
[outro]
when you open your eyes
to the sound of the dawn
peel a dream off your brain
the film that takes the shape of the surface you dry it on
like a thanksgiving prayer
you can taste in the air
