Parting Of The Sensory Lyrics - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank - Modest Mouse

There's no work in walking in to fuel the talk 

I would grab my shoes, and then away I'd walk 

Through all the stubborn beauty I start at the dawn 

Until the sun had fully stopped 

Never walking away from 

Just a way to pull apart 

Dehydrate back into minerals 

A life-long walk to the same exact spot 

Carbon's anniversary 

The parting of the sensory 

Old, old mystery 

The parting of the sensory 

Who the hell made you the boss? 

We placed our chips in all the right spots 

But still lost 

Any shit head who had ever walked 

Could take the ship and do a much finer job 

This fit like clothes made out of wasps 

Aw, fuck it, I guess I lost 

The parting of the sensory 

Carbon's anniversary 

Just part it again if you please 

Carbon's anniversary 

Who the hell made you the boss? 

If you say what to do, I know what not to stop 

If you were the ship, then who would ever get on? 

The weather changed it for the worse 

And came down on us like it had been rehearsed 

And like we hope, but change will surely come 

And be awful for most but really good for some 

I took a trip to the exact same spot 

We pulled the trigger, but we forgot to cock 

And every single shot 

Aw, fuck it, I guess we lost 

Someday you will die, and 

Somehow something's going to steal your carbon 

Someday you will die, and 

Somehow something's going to steal your carbon 

Well, someday you will die somehow, and 

Something's going to steal your carbon 

Someday you will die, and 

Someone's or something's will steal your carbon 

Someday something will die, and 

Somehow you'll figure out how 

Often you will die somehow, and 

Something's going to steal your carbon 

Well, someday you will die somehow, and 

Something's going to steal your carbon
