Bury Our Friends Lyrics

Today I am stitched, I am sewn
Patch me up, I've got want in my bones
Like some doll you thought you could throw away
I found my legs

Ready to climb out from under concrete
Only I get to be sickened by me
My body a smudge
Can't make out the details
Want to start over and come into being

Exhume our idols and Bury Our Friends
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
We're sick with worry
These nerve less days
We live on dread in our own guilded age

This dark world is precious to me
My scars make me breathe in so deep
My body has no need for sleep
This time around

Ready to find fragments of stillness
Only I get to be punished by me
Your voice is a crumb, it leads me from the wildness
Wanna start over, forget everything

Exhume our idols and bury our friends
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
We're sick with worry
These nerve less days
We live on dread in our own guilded age

Make me a headline
I wanna be that bold
Make me a spotlight
So I can see the gold

Make me a headline
I wanna feel that bold
Make me a spotlight
So I can see the gold

Exhume our idols and bury our friends
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
We're sick with worry
These nerve less days
We live on dread in our own guilded age

We speak in circles
We dance in code
Untame and hungry
On fire in the cold
Exhume our idols and bury our friends
We're wild and weary but we won't give in

Bury Our Friends Song Chart

This sledgehammer of a rock song finds Sleater-Kinney insisting "We're wild and weary but we won't give in!" Guitarist and co-vocalist Carrie Brownstein explained during an interview with NPR that the track was about, "trying to posit yourself — your body or your mind — into a space that is... assured, and safe, and sort of rejecting criticism."

Surface Envy Lyrics

Throw me a rope, give me a leg
I haven't seen daylight in what must be day
I took the long way down, lost track of myself
Confidence fell down the steepest of slopes
I'll row you an ocean, I could do more
I feel so much stronger, now that you're here
We've got so much to do, let me make that clear

We win, we lose, only together do we break the rules
We win, we lose, only together do we make the rules

I'm breaking the surface, tasting the air
I'm reaching for things like never before
The anchor is heavy, I can't hold the weight
The guilt holds me down, won't let me be myself
Suck it all in, suck it all up
Let go of thoughts holding me back
I'll push twice as hard towards it you see
And the past falls away to the bottom of the deep

When we leave say goodbye to your old way of life
I can breathe way up high now it's our turn to fly

Surface Envy Song Chart

This is a track from No Cities to Love, Sleater-Kinney's first album after a decade long hiatus. Corin Tucker wrote the song to capture the struggle and triumph of reviving the band. She explained to NME: "That is definitely written with the idea of the moment when we were talking about being a band again. And what an incredible opportunity and a giant challenge that is to me - being a mom and trying to have this really intense career."
