Artist: calexico
Song: cruel
Cruel, cruel grounds
Leak truths never found
Torturous ways whisper from the grave
A slow spun song of distortion
Bitter, bitter mouth
Oh, spitin' out seeds of doubt
Rituals seek root, razed before they're told
Stories break like branches in the cold
Seasons trial finds man's mistakes fair game
Careless hand
Lay and law of the land
Falls by the side, silenced sentient cries
All within the lines of divine right
Better bury the tracks in an unclosed case
Weeds of discontent choke a broken ghost landscape
Cruel, heartless reign, chasing short term gains
Right down to the warning signs
Birds refuse to fly, no longer trust the sky
Drifting out beyond the signals
Even the horizon is gone, weather flees underground
Future's left to wallow in fortune's waste
