lyrics

by now, the wolves have found me
I couldn't keep it hid
so if my pride's intangible
how do I swallow it?

because my head's not on right
too many sugar pills
whatever works for ya
whatever works for ya
whatever works for ya

well you and I can't control time
but we always pretended
the river bleeds into the sea
a century has ended

my old man says there are no straight lines
there are no lucky bets
life is not a game of cards
its a game of chess

to untie the greatest knot
to become undone
whatever works for us
whatever works for us
whatever works for us

well you and I can't control time
but we always pretended
the river bleeds into the sea
a century has ended

I guess your body comes down to what your soul is worth
but I don't want to fall asleep deep in the earth

when I go, bury me in flowers

well you and I can't control time
but we always pretended
the river bleeds into the sea
a century has ended

a century has ended

a century has ended
