What a finite little flame
That burns more faithfully than mine
With your hand in mine, my wandering eyes
Are still searching for a light
Better I an amputee
Than cast into the flames!
Slipping thought, a cabernet drop
Let us marvel at the stain
Thank God we’re all going to die
(Thank God! Thank God!)
Thank God if it’s all a lie
Thank God I’m a liar
Thank God
How many hands have I kissed
That turned into lips?
How many tongues could sing
of my faithlessness?
I’ve become the evil that I hate
Come on and burn me at the stake
or push the plank through my eyes
as long as I don’t see the mess.

I stopped bleeding by the time
I recognized the blade.
Caught a serpent by the tongue
when it tried to say my name.
All the same
I should have covered my ears.
All the same
I couldn’t drown out my fear.
Now it’s passing through
the tunnels of my brain.
I’m haunted by the words
that it never got to say.
Carved an escape
with the edge of a knife.
I’ll never get you (it) out of my mind
Every wound
has dried into a scab.
All the light is turning back.
Filling my ears
with echoes of the past.
All the light is turning back.
My God’s slipping away
through the corners of the room
I’m alone in the middle
while she sinks out of view.
You’ll never fully see me heal
I don’t even know if I believe it’s real
I’ll find another way to give up.
I’ll find another way to forget.
I’ll find another way to die.
I’ll find another way to live.

I'm waking up to a different voice this time
I'm waking up in a different color of light
There's another hand that holds mine now,
Another one who tells me I'm alright
Your ghosts can leave my body now
The stain of sin is begging to be turned white
and washed away
I'm shaking off the dust from the sleeves of my coat
I'm coughing up the lies left in my throat
It's a painless separation now
A painless way to break us apart
won't hold to your smile anymore
won't feel a thing as I walk over the shards
You can take your heart back

Open my mouth to speak,
all I hear is the voice of my enemy.
I swore I left the sea,
but it turns inside of me.
My feet stray into the deep.
What means to love can only think.
I swore a faithless oath.
I heard the rooster crow.
I turned my face from you.
You warned me that I’d be lying,
but whose hand was writing
that I failed you?
Every night I see you in the same place,
water washing over your feet.
When it crashes over my face,
our hands never seem to reach.
You warned me that I’d be lying,
but whose hand was writing
that I failed you?

I am the ivy in your garden
I am the roots you’re tearing out
I am the spider in your kitchen,
crushed into the ground
Pretend you don’t recognize my face
No one will ever have to know you knew my name
I was never worth your time
I’ll crawl into someone else’s mind
I was never meant to stay
I’ll crawl into someone else’s way
Build a home where you can’t see me
I’ll stay here if you leave,
or go deep underground,
so you can have some room to breathe
You’ll fall in love
Find the warmth in your blood with
Somebody else
