The morning was a ball of fire
Extinguished by the leaking moon
The morning was beautiful
Just like the bodies laying out in the yard
I know what we put our faith into
Yeah i really knew
And so do you
And i've grown into a dutiful lying man
And i think it through and so do you
Who am i attempting to lose
When i walk into the fog?
God forbid i'd have seen it
Cause i did it for myself
Bought into the promise
And i did it for myself
Satan lift me up
Cause i did it for myself
Rip up the bone and put it on my shelf
And i hardly know
With this abated article
And i understand that i've been your man
For way too long
For way too long.
Blinking eye,
Crucify me with nervous lullabies
Punish me violently
Free my broken family
God forbid i'd have seen it
Cause i did it for myself
Bought into the promise
And i did it for myself
Satan lift me up
Cause i did it for myself
Ripped up the bone and put it on my shelf
My split bottom lip
(i put it on my shelf)
A statue of my father
(i put it on my shelf)
My woman's bottom dollar
(i put it on my shelf)
