After all I'm older now dear
And I don't believe in anything I trusted in as a child
And everything's gone, everything's gone son he said
You've got to be strong just to be strong son he said
Don't depend on hope to get you by

Whoa no, you think I was wrong my dear?

what I felt like as a sinner
when I broke my bread with saints
and all the crumbs under the table said,
"this is my body, I can't give to you"
oh my god what a mess I've made
oh my god what a mess I've made of you

you say, "wow"
looking up into the clouds,
"the

Oh, all my branches bend
Where, are the hungry hands?

This is a call
I'm outside your door
Give me the bride
I have paid my dues
I can wait no more
Yeah

Oh, all my branches bend
Where, are the hungry hands?
Oh, what do I do when my gifts
All, becom

And it's a poor boy who's alive at best And mistakes the pulse inside his chest For the cartiledge between his legs And it's all he knows It's all he knows And it's a sad girl who sits and cries Mist

And it's a poor boy who's alive at best
Mistakes the pulse inside his chest
For the cartilage between his legs
and it's all he knows
It's all he knows

And it's a sad girl
Who sits and cries
Mistakes true love for brutal eyes
and a warm wet tongue inbetween her t

Please, don't hurt my friend
He don't understand
Please, take me instead
Please, don't hurt my friend
Yeah

Please, don't take my dreamin (don't)
Please, don't take my dreamin (don't)

Please, don't hurt my friend
Hold your hungry hands
I can't stop my heart

My mouth is a jail cell
These secrets peek
between the gaps in my teeth

and even though they're dying yeah...
they'll pray for sunlight
they'll pray for sunlight

Wish my words came out
Less frantic
And more romantic

But these bathroom walls and your call

How long, how long are you asking me to stay?
I cannot stand to watch you kneel today
I saw your hope and turned my face away from you

But under her skirt I see the nation's pain
All kicked with dirt, she crossed her legs in shame
How can you hurt a man who knows your name?

So this is how it ends,
Those bloody hands
That healed so many, well
It's funny how they yell, "So heal yourself"

And this is why you came
To die in shame
For all those waiting for a meaning
And the sinners who are screaming, "So save yourself"

I call you rans

Why do I surprise myself and choose
To throw my blessings in the wind and lose?
My love, my grace
Have been erased;
Instead I dwell with wounds.
We decorate the wall inside our tomb...

Why do I surprise myself and use
My heart for things it wasn't meant to do?
M

I can barely wait to see your face
Crack its weary mouth and let the words float into space
I have learned the Mississippi's pain
Every path I take ends up the same

My body isn't quite a symphony
But if you would put your ears close to me
You'd find that in this dark ro

Oh, tell me what you saw, you saw, you saw.
You found no crab or ladle in the sky, and you groan,
"Is that all we are, we are, we are?
A million tiny strangers that just burn on their own?"

Oh everything, oh everything - you made it.
Oh everything, oh everything - you made

Hey,
So what if this is my Louise Lane?
Someone defenseless I can save
I've got this tricky way of thinking
and it tricks me into thinking that I'm brave

The super part I'm used to
It's the man that gets me down

I guess
Tonight's the night that I suggest

there are scenes
I sleep between
late at night my oyster heart
turns affliction in to art
and in my dreams I use it
making little bits of music
watch them grow

just like a pearl
the earth was white
until the lord picked up that crumb
between his finger a

I'd walk away
If I could move my feet
In your parade

The long March
through April's open heart
May tear these legs apart
but still I pray

that I am broken
and my empty lungs are filled
with the ocean
where the waterfall
of hopeful hearts will

All the young men cry, "We're so good at getting older,
That they ask us why we're not afraid of getting colder."
When the young men die, people shrug their shoulders,
When they go.
