Guts 'N Teeth - Old Man Markley

I still see my actions ripple

Grinding hope stones into sand

Losing too much kills the lion

Makes mice of many men

I watched you suffer too

Stuck steadfast to beliefs

And I’m apart from it

But woe is me

And after all underneath

Ain’t we all just guts and teeth?

Ain’t we all just reflections?

Moving in separate directions

In our heads, out of our minds and out of time…

… has left a crow’s foot brand

Shook me up and beat my hand

Taught me some humility

Left little opportunity

But in the seconds between breath

All my pride means so much less

And it is time that I confess

I’m a part of what went wrong

After all underneath

Ain’t we all just guts and teeth?

Ain’t we all just reflections?

Moving in separate directions

In our heads, out of our minds and out of time

Picking up where we last left it

Trying hard to hide your eyes

Shards of shambled nouveau riche

In the pieces of your life

Backwards ain’t no way of living

In a world synced up with sinning

Hard hearts need forgiving

Well, it’s the only chance we’ve got

Underneath

Ain’t we all just guts and teeth?

Ain’t we all just reflections?

Moving in separate directions

In our heads, out of our minds and out of time
