Bitter Strings

The Jealous Sound

So now that I am falling asleep

Exhaust in my eyes

Well, these angry hands

They know they're damned

If I should die before I awake

Well, make no mistake

I'm dying anyway



And this time that we have will soon end

They're waiting in silence for you

And I heard you tell all your friends that

You couldn't wait till it's through

Well, it's through



Who's saving us now

From the bitter strings of the jealous sound?

Who's saving us now?

Well, we'll figure it out



Know that I couldn't accept

I cannot deny

And these angry hands

They won't understand



I drove straight through Texas

Signed with O's and X's

My heart will break

And I know that I can't take

Your exit

Your exit
