lyrics

david in an armchair,
looking at the camera,
ready for the judgement
with his ever-present cigarette.

all that smoke weighed against a photograph.
what would ammit think
with so little to eat?

if we can't disown our namesake
we want more of you--
not just the space your vices kept,
not just the stories second-hand.
if we can't disown our namesake
we want more of you.
what can you give?
what can you give?

david in an armchair
smiling like a martyr,
is it a comfort to know what's killing you?
why prepare to meet your god?
you know you could've stayed with us.

if we can't disown our namesake
we want more of you--
not just the space your vices kept,
not just the stories second-hand.
if we can't disown our namesake
we want more of you.
what can you give?
what can you give?

take a breath and hold it.
claim your fate in poses.
anybody's son.
falling out of orbit,
landing in a moment.
candid for no one.

we want more of you.
