letra de letter to god - miles of bones

[verse 1]
this life is a long, lonely exile, an infinite distance from home
you can plant your feet here for a short while, but in the crowd you’re still all alone
you can cry to a million stars in the night sky, see if even one of them will care
you can trust in god all through this life, and still not know if anyone is there

[chorus 1]
i’ve seen some things that make me so happy, some things that make me so afraid
i see these things, they’re coming up in mercy and then they’re going down in flames
i’ve known some grace, seen men go out to die with that grim glory on their face
and i’ve known faith, don’t we stand when it holds and fall to pieces when it breaks?

[verse 2]
this path is the path already travelled, everyone’s been here before
can’t say how your life will unravel on the day you set out from your door
but don’t you know your heart’s gonna break as sure and as swift as the dawn?
and all these good days will fade away, but the ghosts and the songs linger on

[chorus 2]
i’ve seen some things that bring me to life, some things that make me so ashamed
i see these things, not a word will p-ss my lips but my heart’s bursting at the seams
and i’m no one, i’m just a strong man’s weaker brother, i’m just a good man’s fourth son
and i’ve known fools like me, they think they’re on their way but they’re just drifting in the breeze

[bridge]
i’m gonna get pen and paper, i’m gonna write god a letter
“sorry i didn’t make you proud i’m sorry that i didn’t do better”
i’m gonna reach under the seat and pull up my old ought-six
point up at c-ssiopeia, shoot her legs off just for kicks
i’m gonna rip down the fence and set my mom’s horses free
they’ll run like h-ll, and then i’ll fill up my can with gasoline
i’m gonna burn down that billboard, i’m gonna burn my degree
go where n0body knows me, go where i know n0body

this is the first night of the last year i’ll be here
and to be quite frank i’ll be surprised if i last twenty-three more years
i’ve been around so long i can’t recall the day
when i met these friends of mine, and what were their names anyways?
this wheel will spin until it spins out of control
and we’re possessed, and we’re obsessed with drugs and s-x and rock n’ roll
reach around your back to feel the handle of the knife
the lord has sent his angel down to set you free and take your life
