Chest of Hearts

Lips in sharp delirium Left in splintered modicum Breathe Breathe Chest of hearts to hold us home Shrine of life and death undone Breathe Breathe Oh denial He's the sweetest slave I ever bought and sold Oh denial But here's the weakest side of me I've never shown Oh denial King of crowns forgotten now and so we'll go Oh denial Grab a flash and drink it down too slow, to slow Veil of grace to keep up safe Blind, and deaf, and almost chaste Breathe Breathe Oh denial He's the sweetest slave I ever bought and sold Oh denial But here's the weakest side of me I've never shown Oh denial King of crowns forgotten now and so we'll go Oh denial Grab a flash and drink it down too slow, to slow When clenching blood in hands like these My thoughts steady When breaking bones that bend like these We're never ready To drown the voices out To drown the voices out To drown the voices out To drown the voices out "Hosanna" When clenching blood in hands like these When breaking bones that bend like these
