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
