Kevin Devine - No Reward lyrics

With my dominant hand I steer the ship towards the future With my eyes full of sand, I make a myth of the mess Through desert blinders and cataracts, grab the battle axe Let the faith outfox the fear Snap off the string, go clear (No reward) Snap off the string, go clear (No reward) From the crimson k**ing floor No reason, no reward Thread the rib through the rind, pull the pins from the pillbox Keep every twist intertwined, each coincidence locked To the prelude and aftermath, 'til you have to ask "Are you sure you're sure you're right? It's such a lonely life!" (When you're sure) It's such a lonely life (When you're sure) Endless incremental war So cursed to be so sure (No reward) It's such a lonely life (No reward) It's such a lonely life (No reward) It's such a lonely life (No reward) From the crimson k**ing floor To the mausoleum door Off the isolation shore No reason, no reward
