Wanderlust Every Time I Die

[Verse 1]
I dropped my conscious and cast another stone
I took to preaching while dancing on the coals
I can't say where I've been and only god knows where I'll be
But there must be a place for a wretch like me

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, Lord knows I'm tired
But I won't rest my head until I'm home
And if my hands find themselves another body
Well, you can't blame them for trying to keep warm

[Chorus]
Morals are simply a matter of time
And where you lay your head's a question of pride
But, when it's said and done, you'll find it in the lines
That privilege and wit made me misfortune's child

[Post-Chorus]
Can't tell collapse that it needs to slow down
Can't tell death that it shouldn't come around
And when they take my head and put it on a stake
I'll know that guilt and disgrace keep the dead men awake

[Verse 2]
Bartering your vigor for a paralyzing love
What have you done?
What have you done?
I took the scaffold and laughed until I fell
Girl, if you need me, grab another from the well
I can't imagine what hell might have in store
But I know once I'm there I won't wander anymore
