I drag a corpse up off the road Find a vacant house where we can lay our shattered bones Something familiar, something abandoned Somewhere where the vultures can pick apart our damage I lay your body, clean it to the teeth Pray before the sunlight that the angels capture me
Oh, girl, now that you know practicing voodoo is not my M.O. But blood’s what she wants, then the blood it will flow over your body and under the door
I make my penance with all I have done Under the pressure of a steel plated gun I found a bible as I scraped up the boards An ironic piece of laughter as I cry even more
I felt cursed, I felt blessed, the heart of every angel pumping gold into my chest What’s a snake, what’s an apple after you break all the hearts of every apostle?
Oh, girl, now that you know, we’ll be stuck in this house we can call home I pull the handle; the barrel explodes out through my mouth and through the window
I pray, I pray, I pray until the end of the night I pray, I pray, I pray until the end of the night I pray, I pray, I pray until the end of the night I pray, I pray, I pray until the end of the night I pray, I pray, I pray for the end of the night I pray, I pray, I pray for the end of the night I pray, I pray, I pray, I pray, I pray, I pray, I pray I pray for my forgiveness, I pray for the night
Every little whisper that you spoke to me Heaven can’t hear us Every little promise that you said you’d keep Heaven can’t hear us Every time we sinned, I kept it locked under key Heaven can’t hear us Every single priest I paid to bless us to sleep
