Joey Cape Gone Baby Gone lyrics

It´s been a long time sing the war
And still you´re bunkered at the shore
A thousand words in sorrow songs
Echo louder than bombs
You´re still sleeping in his bed
Since you woke up in his head
And all those years seem like a ruse
Before the songs came true

But it´s gone, not forgotten
Trailing off smell of rotten
Sing the farewell song
It´s gone gone gone baby gone

And those lines whispered and penned

Will sometimes burn us in the end
Cognitive battle for control and conflicting goals
Now you stumble in new shoes through the sunset painted truth
Maybe it was never ours, the mirage, the iron bars

And it´s gone, but not forgotten
Drink it off. No one´s stopping you from moving on
It´s gone gone gone baby gone

Loyalty to a flaw
Shattered inside china doll
All she yearns for, shelter somewhere safe
