Lyrics Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney

Bury Our Friends

Today I am stitched, I am sewn

Patch me up, I've got want in my bones

Like some doll you thought 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 a smudge

Can't make out the details

Want to start over and come into being

Exhume our idols and bury our friends

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

We're sick with worry

These nerve less 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 find fragments of stillness

Only I get to be punished by me

Your voice is a crumb, it leads me from the wildness

Wanna start over, forget everything

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

We speak in circles

We dance in code

Untame and hungry

On fire in the cold

Exhume our idols and bury our friends

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