lyrics

When I woke
I washed the blood from out of my mouth
I could taste the salt of Youth inside my lungs
And I've got more love than
You've got maps made of your veins
We've gone so far
but you said No

The gleam of knives
Through jealous wires
I crept inside

I made my way through all the cracks in your skin
I made your tin heart sweat blood again
We count from five and jump right off that window ledge
We've come so far but you said No

I fell into the blackest light (I could feel it fold me)
I was built brand new
We could all be saints tonight
If we see this through

So this is what you want?
...this is what you wanted?

Angel descend
Our eyes are all searchlights
We laid still
While God slept

What's worse?
Poison or the Truth?

We stand far from what we are
We Know we're lost in the snow
Our tongues have froze to these lampposts

Who will here these words like we intended?
Who will hear this verse if we meant it now?
