lyrics

i break bread over silent lonely hearts are folding shut,
i've drunk wine alongside the ghostly faces of our time.
i head for the door, i don't ever find it open anymore.
if i listen closely would you say you adore me after all?

lonely, lonely heart you have done me dirtier than most.
holy, holy water you have left me thirsty.

your saving grace, if you can call it that,
or saving face to hide the cowardice feeling that sneaks in,
when you're under attack.

cut your bride, bring her blood up to the surface
so you can cry your loudest tears, your forget-me-nots,
your message falls flat, it won't bring her back.

lonely, lonely heart you have done me dirtier than most.
holy, holy water you have left me thirsty.

your saving grace, if you can call it that,
or saving face to hide the cowardice feeling that sneaks in,
when you're under attack.

a politic of futures, decider of fates,
a message of forgiveness, but only certain ways
a savior of the broken, but never needing saved.
