Lyrics Mates of State

Mates of State

Hoarding It For Home

Never seen you run so fast

Never seen you turn in the middle of your laugh

Never once settle down

Everyone settle down

Where's my arm?

In this coat of arms it is a black arm

And where's my prize?

This little prize, it is a clear prize

I'm watching as the arms lay down

And measuring your prize

And hoarding it for home

Never once settle down

Everyone settle down

And when I stand here alone

I know speaking comes easy to you but I choke

And when I stand here alone, I know this

I know that since I'm leaving so soon

I owe what I know

And yes of course, I told you I felt it

Like the top of the tower and changing the guard

Delta it first and adjust it right later

I would like to extend a conclusion

And yes of course, I told you I felt it

As long as the flasks, they're staged and they're brimmed

State just the facts, and the status you're after

It's just the medicine and our time alone

Is that the same charm from way back when?

As you make space on the floor

I form words that fit right next to yours 'cause I know

And oh, of course, now I surely felt it

As the top of the tower, it feigns and it swells

Give up the back and excpect all that's coming

It's just the medicine and our time alone

That's the same charm from way back when

And when I stand here alone

Whatever it takes, I will supply you

Thank God, these times are gone and behind us

I know

Boom
