Bury Our Friends - Sleater-Kinney

Today I am stitched up and sewn

Catch me up, I got warmth in my bones

Locks 'em down you know you could throw away

I found my legs

Ready to climb out from under concrete

Only I get to be sickened by me My body is merged

Can’t make out the details

Why start over, give it to me

Exhume our idols and bury our friends

We’re wild and weary but we won’t give in We’re sick with worry

These nervous days

We live on dread in our own guilded age

This dark world is precious to me My scars make me breathe in so deep

My body has no need for sleep

This time around

Ready to fight, fight makes the stillness

Only I get to be punched by me Your voice is a crumb it leads me from the wildness

Why start over, forget everything

Exhume our idols and bury our friends

We’re wild and weary but we won’t give in We’re sick with worry

These nervous days

We live on dread in our own guilded age

Make me a headline

I wanna be that bold

Make me a spotlight

So I can see the gold

Make me a headline

I wanna feel that bold

Make me a spotlight

So I can see the gold

Exhume our idols and bury our friends

We’re wild and weary but we won’t give in We’re sick with worry

These nervous days

We live on dread in our own guilded age

We speak in circles

We dance in code

Untamed and hungry

On fire and in cold

Exhume our idols and bury our friends

We’re wild and weary but we won’t give in
