Every Time I Die - Old Light Lyrics






I'm a great oasis
Yeah I'm a mirage
I'm a beam of old light from a vanquished star and I'll only guide you into the dark
I'm a parasite with a tapeworm
Yeah I got a bulletproof vest
Knowing my bad luck I ain't ever gonna die so the good will never get any rest

Come bail me out of the state I'm in
The drinks I've had are no match for the truth
The crowd down here put it's teeth in us
But the cure's more dangerous than the venom is
So we leave it in
And we do those things that make us forget that we're dying here
But we're dying here

So love your blood while you can
Let it warm your freezing hands

I'm a dog-less master
Yeah I'm a master-less dog
When the whip and the tether are put aside forever
I'm an ox that wanders into the swap
I'm a rattlesnake across a braided rope
I'm the demon on your side of the chalk
If I caught them girls who started them fires
They'll track me down in the fog

Come bail me out of the state I'm in
The drinks I've had are no match for the truth
The crowd down here put it's teeth in us
But the cure's more dangerous than the venom is
So we leave it in
And we do those things that make us forget that we're dying here
But we're dying here

So love your blood while you can
Let it warm your freezing hands

You put a hex me women
You're a thinner, you're a thinner
Yeah and these are nuclear winters
Atomic black winters
I kept the fire alive because
I'm a sinner, I'm a sinner
Come here and let me boil your blood

I'm a train as long as the track
I am concurrently outbound and just now getting back
They strung me up by a rope as tall as the trees
Though I land my two feet I still sway in the breeze

    Weakest song on the album, skip this song every time.

  11. T.... ....

    Easily my favorite song off the album

  12. s.... ....

    s.... ....

    s.... ....

    Fuck yeah

  13. G.... B....

    This song has really grown on me. God damn. Gotta love that bridge section.

  14. A.... ....

    FUCK! And I said FUCK with all my heart. The intro got me hooked instantly. absolute favorite track on this album. This and Pelican of the Desert.

  15. M.... P....

    I used to like this band..lol

    M.... P....

    then u got old lol

    M.... P....

    You are right..34 yo :(

    M.... P....

    it's ok, 35 here :(

    M.... P....

    I mean, i dont dislike them but I dont know, I dont feel passion for them anymore..Now I listen to noise rock, powerviolence, sludge and fucked up things lol I found this music quite more interesting and pure..

  16. T.... D....

    Every etid album is my favorite

  17. M.... H....

    So fucking random but fuck yeah Gaslight Anthem!

  18. A.... ....

    Sick song from a sick band!

  19. D.... ....

    Who is this song featuring? I love it!

  20. E.... S....

    favorite album since the big dirty, has a hot damn feel to it. i dont understand the negative comments from people that are probably not die hard etid fans

    E.... S....

    I can be pretty well characterized as a "die-hard" fan, I've been listening since '03 and have seen them live more than 25 times since then. It is taking me a little longer to get into this album than any of the others. It still kicks metric-shit tons of ass, but it isn't hitting me as instantly as Hot Damn! Big Dirty, or New Junk did. 

  21. C.... L....

    Its hard to pick a favorite etid album. The big dirty has so many hits, new junk has such a gritty heavy sound to it with a kind of a grind sound to it which is also awesome... gutter of course, even ex lives has grown on me. i like the new sound. 

    C.... L....

    if last night in town isn't you anchor, i don't know what you're on about. holy shit

  22. b.... ....

    this so made the album make sense

  23. p.... m....

    This album is amazing, I'm not huge fan of this song.  I didn't really like ex lives that much so I'm so pumped for this album.  It reminds me of old every time I die mixed in with some new.  love it.  (can't ever beat the big dirty though)

  24. J.... L....

    This album is absolutely SICK!

  25. R.... M....

    Best song off the album the guest vocals just seal the deal.

  26. P.... J....

    Ex lives and big dirty are still my favorite albums.

  27. B.... E....

    Before this album came out I said, "From Parts Unknown is going to be great." I was right. 

  28. B.... S....

    ETID FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCKIN METAL YOUR ASS UP!! (. Y .)

    B.... S....

    Fuck yeah brotha

    B.... S....

    yo that's metallica bro

  29. B.... S....

    this is a very good album fuck the haters

  30. D.... B....

    Fuck i love this song but hate the chrous. Sounds like greenday which sucks because greenday is fucking lame.

    D.... B....

    I thought Green Day too.  Straight off Dookie.

    D.... B....

    @BH Johnston lol I can agree with that xD

    D.... B....

    Totally sounds like Green Day. 100%

    D.... B....

    @Neal Zetek It's Brian Fallon singing not Keith!

    D.... B....

    ITS BRIAN FALLON SHOW SOME RESPECT

  31. D.... S....

    This album so far has been a let down for me. I feel like the last four are all better than this one, but this is still light years better than most bands within this genre. This is my favorite song off this record, its just so good.

    D.... S....

    @Dominic Spizzirri I couldn't agree more with what you said...wow

    D.... S....

    I like how the fans can't agree on which was the best, makes me laugh. Though I think we can all agree that regardless of which is our favorite they're all still great.

    D.... S....

    @Sal SantaLucia Agreed. 

    D.... S....

    @krich451 Completely agree, it's like old ETID but heavier. 

  32. H.... ....

    Kurt Ballou made this sound awesome. Best stuff from these guys since 2003

  33. A.... W....

    There you go peeps... The southern edge still in there. But personally I am SO fuckin happy they've gone back to a Last Night In Town / Hot Damn vibe! Another sweeet tune! I don't like Gaslight Anthem but the guest vocals are cool! Fits nicely!

    A.... W....

    Agreed. I do like the guest vox on this song.

  34. V.... ....

    Not really digging the guest vocalist. Sounds like it was tacked on at the last minute. 

  35. d.... ....

    when a band has been around as long as these dudes they start suckn but not ETID they just get better and better

  36. H.... M....

    Hello Brian Fallon.

    H.... M....

    I was really interested to see how they'd use him in a song.  Can't say I'm disappointed at all.  I dig it.  Can't wait for the new Gaslight album either.

    H.... M....

    +PennStateRLZ Already out :) and Brian's new album comes out soon too.
