Oarsmen Lyrics
My black dove penance weighing down my feather feet
Woven into my skin, the covenants I'd broken
My granite heart will not forget what it once was.
I couldn't bear it.
When the sun came up and my eyes were struck
I don't believe I could've changed my mind
In the dead end heat of that withered beach
With my grave stone teeth and your seven shades of grief
They drew the devil's iris in between your brows
Accursed breath that left our bodies when the day broke
Who built that weary wooden cabinet for your faith?
mean nothing to me.
When we lost our sight to the teething night
I don't believe I could've changed my mind
When the seeds were sown and then left alone
How could I have known I was never on my own?
and my fingers all bloodied and torn
and it's just a lie,
a poor excuse for all the fumes
that I spit out back when I was young,
and god damn the truth,
I was unused,
an empty glass,
an oarsman and no one knew my name.
I know several of these lyrics are wrong, so if anyone has any info on what is being screamed in the [?] lines I'll edit it. Also, some of the second verse doesn't sound right to me, but I can't make out everything they're saying during this part.
Any corrections would be much appreciated.
This is what I hear, but some of them don't really make sense so I'm probably a lot more off target than you are.

woven into my skin rather than woke up into my granite heart rather than crumbling heart a coffer full of your love We were ? earth before the first unsettle ? fell They drew the Devils out of ? between your brow

I also don't hear 'and the savage inside of me' but I can't figure out what it is. It sounds like 'seven shades of ?' but I don't know. I wish they'd post lyrics. :(

"I woke up sweating on the calming mountain wilds" "my granite heart will not forget what it once was" "a coffer full of your love that I couldn't bury" "we were unnerving earth before the first unsettled word fell" "they drew the devils out of secrets between your brow"

After listening again, with your ideas in mind, that is what I got and have edited it so.Any idea on the ending screaming section? I have no idea.

I woke up sweating on the moaning mount of olives My black dove penance weighing down my feather feet Woven into my skin, the covenants I'd broken My granite heart will not forget what it once was.

I don't believe I ever had a choice When the sun came up and my eyes were struck I don't believe I could've changed my mind In the dead end heat of that withered beach With my grave stone teeth and your seven shades...
I don't believe I ever had a choice When the sun came up and my eyes were struck I don't believe I could've changed my mind In the dead end heat of that withered beach With my grave stone teeth and your seven shades of grief
We were unleavened earth before the first unsettled word fell They drew the devil's iris in between your brows Accursed breath that left our bodies when the day broke Who built that weary wooden cabinet for your faith?
All these doors I see mean nothing to me.
I don't believe I ever had a choice When we lost our sight to the teething night I don't believe I could've changed my mind When the seeds were sown and then left alone How could I have known I was never on my own?
Oh God, I feel like every saintly fire was my fault.
That I got crossed off of the wall and my fingers all bloodied and torn and it's just a lie, a poor excuse for all the fumes that I spit out back when I was young, and god damn the truth, I was unused, an empty glass, an oarsman and no one knew my name.
I am not welcome in this house I built.
Love these guys. Similar to Brand New, which I like, but they're not completely ripping them off. These guys are going to go far, they're only in their early 20's.
