Lyrics

Won't you lend your lungs to me?
Mine are collapsing
Plant my feet and bitterly
Breathe of the time that's passing
Breath I take and breath I'll give
And pray the day's not poison
Stand among the ones
That live in lonely indecision
Fingers walk the darkness down
Mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you've found
You fool, it's only moonlight
And if you try to take it home
Your hands will turn to butter
Better leave this dream alone
And try to find another
Salvation sat and crossed herself
And called the devil partner
Wisdom burned upon the shelf
Who'll kill the raging cancer?
Seal the river at its mouth
Take the water prisoner
Fill the sky with screams and cries
And bathe in fiery answers
Jesus was His only son
And love His only concept
Now strangers cry in foreign tongues
And dirty up the doorstep
And I for one and you for two
Ain't got the time for outside
Just keep those injured looks to you
We'll tell the world that we tried
