Matt Mueller - Slate Lyrics

When a man feels blood, and fire in his eyes
There's nothing to hold him down
But the sins of some, a choir of lies
They'll make him swim until he drowns
Deja, deja vu, another note I leave for you
There's nothing new with the horses or the gate
That we painted back in June, oh, the lilies blossomed too
I brought them for you and I'll see that they won't blow away
Now I've seen the sun, set in bloodshot skies
I've heard the moon resound
And the hymns of some, ain't more than sighs
What's left beneath the clouds
Deja, deja vu, another note I leave for you
There's nothing new with the horses or the gate
That we painted back in June, oh, the lilies blossomed too
I brought them for you and I'll see that they won't blow away
Now dirt has turned to mud, so I hired some size
To help till and unearth the ground
And I think our love's keeping me alive
Though you work without a sound
And our kids are okay
They don't say much these days
Deja, deja vu, another note I leave for you
There's nothing new with the horses or the gate
That we painted back in June, oh, the lilies blossomed too
I brought them for you and I'll see that they won't blow away
Though your slate still looks the same
Sure was nice seeing you today
