Tender Tar Lyrics
Tar by Tender
[Verse 1]
Gentle feet touch the ground
Yeah, you follow the sound
As you study the noise
I slip into the void
No, my gods won't let me go
Choke the night, remain unknown
How thick is the tar?
To stop you getting so far
[Chorus]
I, I'm waiting for the slow waxing and wane
I'm watching for that soft lunar decay
The night can't hide you or the dark that comes too
I'm collecting those who dare refuse to sleep
Those who pretended life is cheap
The many for a few
It's not all about you
[Verse 2]
Under the stars, pull yourself from the tar
Black lakes were glistening, use your hand to stop the rippling
Now it's still again so we're setting fires
Burn the rest, crawl on the pyre
Watch the smoke fill the air
The dark ain't going nowhere
[Chorus]
I, I'm waiting for the slow waxing and wane
I'm watching for that soft lunar decay
The night can't hide you or the dark that comes too
I'm collecting those who dare refuse to sleep
Those who pretended life is cheap
The many for a few
It's not all about you
[Bridge]
All these things that we love so much
Don't mean a thing if we can't even touch
The softest skin of another's face
The coldest night and a warm embrace
It all comes down to what you're prepared to do
It all comes down to what you're prepared to do
[Chorus]
I, I'm waiting for the slow waxing and wane
I'm watching for that soft lunar decay
The night can't hide you or the dark that comes too
I'm collecting those who dare refuse to sleep
Those who pretended life is cheap
The many for a few
It's not all about you
[Chorus]
I, I'm waiting for the slow waxing and wane
I'm watching for that soft lunar decay
The night can't hide you or the dark that comes too
I'm collecting those who dare refuse to sleep
Those who pretended that life is cheap
The many for a few
It's not all about you
Gentle feet touch the ground
Yeah, you follow the sound
As you study the noise
I slip into the void
No, my gods won't let me go
Choke the night, remain unknown
How thick is the tar?
To stop you getting so far
[Chorus]
I, I'm waiting for the slow waxing and wane
I'm watching for that soft lunar decay
The night can't hide you or the dark that comes too
I'm collecting those who dare refuse to sleep
Those who pretended life is cheap
The many for a few
It's not all about you
[Verse 2]
Under the stars, pull yourself from the tar
Black lakes were glistening, use your hand to stop the rippling
Now it's still again so we're setting fires
Burn the rest, crawl on the pyre
Watch the smoke fill the air
The dark ain't going nowhere
[Chorus]
I, I'm waiting for the slow waxing and wane
I'm watching for that soft lunar decay
The night can't hide you or the dark that comes too
I'm collecting those who dare refuse to sleep
Those who pretended life is cheap
The many for a few
It's not all about you
[Bridge]
All these things that we love so much
Don't mean a thing if we can't even touch
The softest skin of another's face

It all comes down to what you're prepared to do
[Chorus]
I, I'm waiting for the slow waxing and wane
I'm watching for that soft lunar decay
The night can't hide you or the dark that comes too
I'm collecting those who dare refuse to sleep
Those who pretended life is cheap
The many for a few
It's not all about you
[Chorus]
I, I'm waiting for the slow waxing and wane
I'm watching for that soft lunar decay
The night can't hide you or the dark that comes too
I'm collecting those who dare refuse to sleep
Those who pretended that life is cheap
The many for a few
It's not all about you
