Fiction Plane If Only Lyrics

The old mans been stealin
she's holdin the grievin for a hundred odd years
we all keep believin that history repeats itself year after year.
all i fear's that the future is worse
we have to give in to a hundred year curse
sweat in the sun like we're diggin a grave
dig deep enough and our fortune is saved

(chorus)
if only if only
the wood pecker sighs
the bark on the trees was as soft as the skies
as the wolf waits below
hungry and lonely
he cries to the moo-oo-oon
if only if only

chasin the skirt of a beautiful wife
you make mistakes and it's my back that breaks
and forever my past steals my life
to submission i'm beat but there's hope beneath these feet
blisters and blood and the sun makes you blind
you don't let it eat till it can't help but be kind
cause you know what's important with your back to the wall
you can break metal chains when your friends don't let you fall if only if only
the woodpecker sighs
the bark on the trees was as soft as the skies

as the wolf waits below
hungry and lonely
he cries to the moo-oo-oon
If only if only

i'm a soal but I find myself a bent
and that is no use when i'm fightin my history
fightin my history
i have no blade i'm more like a feather
but that is no use when i'm fightin my history
fighten my history
I have no blade i'm more like a feather
but i can't fly away without fightin myself

if only if only
the woodpecker sighs
the bark on the trees was as soft as the skies
as the wolf waits below
hungy and lonely
he cries to the moo-oo-oon
if only if only

if only if only
the woodpecker sighs
the bark on the trees was as soft as the skies
as the wolf waits below
hungy and lonely
he cries to the moo-oo-oon
if only if only
