Requiem Revisited Lyrics - Lawrence Arms

[Whispers] 

His dreams gone, and all the smiles have faded 

they call him mask to kill the child who came in 

(oh) 

These hands beat red 

with those mercy killings 

good eye, dead man 

you hit your mark again 

These hands beat red 

with those mercy killings 

good eye, dead man 

you hit your mark again 

oh! 

And now his words beg for same damn thing now; 

to return to someplace far behind now 

(oh) 

this arm has broken more china than you know 

these fists are squeezed too tightly ever to let go 

these are the syncopations of these weary bones, bones 

These hands beat red 

with those mercy killings 

good eye, dead man 

you hit your mark again and 

This time, this time, this time 

I walk these avenues to find 

The place where I can let these dreams and demons go... 

and finally rest my weary bones, bones, bones, bones
