Touch the back of your neck and swear,
In the empty light of dawn,
Touch the back of your neck and swear it’s still there
Grown out of the billions
Cold culture come stuck in it’s ways,
Just a Petri wish: to be handled with care
And you’ve always considered it,
On yours knees with your fists in thin air,
Have you paid for conviction with wasted watered down love
So join the front of the audience
See through smoke and the mirrors of saints
There, you can see where the wires and the words don’t quite equate
Words, said by Gods, read blessings, I don’t know why
Ode, sung by sons who faltered on owning lies
So I rinsed my hands of the divine reprise:
Words, culled from Gods who alter when faith decides
So the question repeats to you
The flock around you is drowning in ink
What makes their suffering sweeter than pagans rounding totem
When will you answer me?
On this feeling I’m sure we relate
I just want to instill my belief in disbelieving
Words, said by Gods, read blessings, I don’t know why
Ode, sung by sons who faltered on owning lies
So I rinsed my hands of the divine reprise:
Words, culled from Gods who alter when faith decides
On the backs of every neck
In the corners of every spine
Have you wondered if it’s absolved, all cleaned and holy
You were sure that he really was
For all the years you were beneath his thumb
“Yeah maybe just maybe and so i keep my head down”
You know, you know?
Well I don’t know, but that’s a lot of time
Borrowed time, lived in decline
And you borrow your father’s faith
And you take it as sedative
Do you want to follow me out of here? Promise me, promise me....
Words, said by Gods, read blessings, I don’t know why
Ode, sung by sons who faltered on owning lies
So I rinsed my hands of the divine reprise:
Words, culled from Gods who alter when faith decides
