lirik lagu native wildlife - bitter work
and then the devil said, “when you were broken i took you in. gave you a purpose, a family, a new home.” his t–th clenched, his veins swelled. i’m oaken-hearted for a moment but my nerve slips. “we all have someone we try to protect. if that was your boy on the altar, you think a father wants to take that risk?”
so we crept up in the dirt just like a rat or a thief, falling in upon the preacher like a sudden disease. spilling blood and fear and fire with reluctance and ease, we strung him up outside the blackwood to avoid the police. we fought for my soul
curse that weakness and desperate men, tempted often and easily. it’s a shame you were lost, my son, led astray so easily
our hands weren’t meant for this
such dark and bitter work
they’re for digging in the earth
planting seeds
working with wood
or fashioning bricks
mending broken tools
tending to the sick
but not this
it’s not god’s mercy that keeps my son alive. it ain’t your pity that keeps him safe at night. it’s my wrath and my fury that keeps him safe from harm
how can that be wrong?
