N.G.H.4.M. (Never Gonna Happen for Me) [Live at Roadburn]

Paladin of the basement light

Now I'm done believing

Locked swords, and ready to die

Now I'm done believing

Here's to permanent morningside

Because I'm done believing

Train goes at seven o' five

With my damn belief, I'm done believing

On the platform at six fifty-nine

Now I'm done believing

Fourteen geese in the platinum sky

Now I'm done believing

Paper dancing with a poltergeist

In the calm beneath me

Train came on December nine

For my damn belief, I'm done believing

Early morning railroad ride

Now I'm done believing

Hands hold overcoat shut tight

But I'm done believing

Twenty years is enough to have tried

Now I'm done believing

Look at the geese one more time

With a calm relief, I am done believing

Now I'm done believing, I am done believing

To the bars beneath me, I am done believing

Words drowned out under the train

Plain closed casket, eyes can't touch me

The winter can't know the body of light

And the body can't touch the sidereal mind

Now I'm done believing, I am done believing, throw me

To the bars beneath me, I am done believing

This is me taking sides

Now I'm done believing

This is me with my heart untied

Now I'm done believing

I did it for our unborn child

Please believe me

Bury me at seven o'five

In the bars beneath, I am done believing

Words drowned out under the train

Plain closed casket, eyes can't touch me

The winter can't know the body of light

And the body can't touch the sidereal mind

Now I'm done believing, I am done believing, throw me

To the bars beneath me, I am done believing

No birds on fire crashing down

No crack in the dome of this fragile world

No crying into the quaking ground

No angry god, no indifferent god

Now I'm done believing, I am done believing, throw me

To the bars beneath me, I am done believing

Paladin of the basement light

Sheathed sword and ready to die

Under the covers is a dream of stars

If he knew then, he wouldn't have run so far

Now I'm done believing, I am done believing, throw me

To the bars beneath me, I am done believing
