Alas I Hop Along Songtext
von Object Unto Earth

Dead herons float above
Their bones, a home thereof
Though tooth and claw and blood
Safety feels scarce
Alas i hop along

The glades they drove us from
No refuge, and barely a slum
Yet I place my bets upon
What lives we shared
Alas I hop along


A greater beast with fangs said frog, you′re looking lost
As he pulled me straight through lines I'd not have crossed
The pound of flesh I paid had left me limbs of rot
A rate of return reflective of its cost
And such remorse I′ve known, at what little it had bought
I am the clerk i robbed, the bystander I shot

Foreclosed, forgave, forgot
Free of the petty and fraught
Then I saw myself and thought
I'm finally here
Alas I hop along
