Bird Friend - Liberty Revisited (Revisited) Lyrics

By the time that you opened up your eyes
It was over
The carnival come
To a halt in the night

And the ghosts with no place to go
Look so much older
The lantern inside
Your mind's eye reignites

Oh, but when we complete
This archaic recital
Any temperance left
Has just yet to see trial

And the you of your youth
Is completely defiled
And you name what remains
Your reality

You finally got your liberty

Back in the crucible
Your life just used to be
So provincial
The people so absorbed in their misery

You're a hometown hero
Of the highest degree
But you're just trying to atone
For your f*cked up family

And as sure as our god
Builds his home on the shore
And as righteous as you are
You will ask for one more

Chance to return our lives
Back to the way that they were
But when you disappear darling
I will know the score

Know the score
