Lyrics

Because your father was a man of the cross
Who said his son was a slave to the flesh
When the spectacle ended, the charges were dropped
Marvin was left with the hole in his chest
The hole in his chest
The hole in his chest
The hole in his chest
The hole in his chest
The hole in his chest
The hole in his chest
The hole in his chest
The hole in his chest
He could have brought down a mountain when he pounded on the table
Or made the world collapse for relapsing behavior
The pastor never spared the rod but taught the wrath and fear of God
To stop this godless passion from burning
Barking from the throne while the castle falls
He had a hand to smash the balance, a voice like a vortex
A temper like a terror threaded ahead like a hornet's nest
And every day the levee breaks, the floodgates, the bloody face
The black eye, baptized in shame
He brought home the battlefield and sealed off the exits
Crawling up the walls and absorbing the aggression
The source of his depression, the hurricane raging
The awful tension sent his hands to the piano
Forged a heaven in his heart
But dragged him back to hell when the arguments would start
Because his father was a man of the cross
Who said his son was a slave to the flesh
When the argument ended, the music had stopped
Marvin was left with the hole in his chest
The hole in his chest
The hole in his chest
Marvin was left with the hole in his chest
He mapped the length of his son's back with a leather belt
And sapped his strength with tongue lashings and heavy guilt
Attacked his legs with such savage and deadly skill
The cracks left in the punched plaster were never filled
Patched together from fragments a sense of himself
Advocate for compassion and the sensual
As parents sent the young packing to the depths of hell
A tattoo of guns clapping the end of the world
A marriage bed unraveling and a wedding bell
Cracked, he fell into drug habits, the empty shell
A tragic end of love's passionate temple, it fell
The collapse of such a fragile and sensitive will
Relapsed to ugly patterns of kill or be killed
To combat the drunken shadow and wrestle the swell
Came back to the bloody battle where the devil dwelled
To smash the glass and shatter himself
After the sudden blast, a heavy quiet fell
He asked his father why but the silence wouldn't tell
After the gun blast, a heavy quiet fell
He asked his father why but the silence wouldn't tell
Because his father was a man of the cross
Who said his son was a slave to the flesh
When the argument ended, the music had stopped
Marvin was left with the hole in his chest
Marvin was left with the hole in his chest
Marvin was left with the hole in his chest
