Lungs |
| Now won’t you lend your lungs to me? |
| Mine are collapsing |
| Plant my feet and bitterly breathe up the time that’s passing |
| Breath I take and breath I give, pray the day ain’t poison |
| Stand among the ones that live in lonely indecision |
| My fingers walked the darkness down, mind is on the midnight |
| Gather up the gold you’ve found, you fool it’s only moonlight |
| If you try to take it home your hands will turn to butter |
| You better leave this dream alone try to find another |
| Salvation sat and crossed herself and called the devil partner |
| Wisdom burned upon a shelf, who’ll kill the raging cancer |
| Seal the river at it’s mouth, take the water’s prisoner |
| Fill the sky with screams and cries, bathe in fiery answers |
| Jesus was an only son and love His only concept |
| Strangers cry in foreign tongues and dirty up the doorstep |
| And I for one and you for two ain’t got the time for outside |
| Just keep your injured looks to you, we’ll tell the world we tried |
