I Beat My Body Down

I BEAT MY BODY DOWN
I will wash my mouth
Underneath the holiest water
Dreaming of the end
The end with you
I beat my body down
I will grow my hair like Samson
Dreaming of the end
The end with you
When I found you out
There was just no time for patience
I told the truth
The best I could
But your heart was hard
Ears deaf to deadly warnings
Nothing I said
Would change your mind
Dreaming of the end with you
And the road to hell
Is paved with our good intentions
Don't be polite
Polite with me
So won't you wash your mouth
Underneath the holiest water
Come watch the end
The end with me
Darling, I can hardly wait
Nothing in this life is ever permanent
You should've learned that by now

Let it come
Let it come
I wish that I could disconnect myself
From what is going on, going on
I see the colors, but they bleed so well
Let it burn
Let it burn
I want to see the light come from the flames
And in the morning light, morning light
I swear to god that things don't look the same
When the winds came
I blew down
When the fire came
I burned out
Let it come
Let it come
I said let it come
Let it come

I've got arms that are reaching for the sky
With reverent hands and a soul that's said to never die
And I know that you will lift me up
Oh my god when will you lift me up?
A wretched lust has been banging on the door
With subtle teeth and a purpose that is true and sure
And I know that she's been taking time
For the moment that I'll call her mine
Oh, what faithful patient sorrow?
Daughter I won't feel it tomorrow
No, I won't
In my dreams I am burning in a fire
With a dutiful stare on a modern stake I take my trial
And my ashes hang over the streets
Of the righteous and the now redeemed
Oh, I float
Like a dark ghost
I float
I float
I've got arms that are reaching for the sky

Cult Life

CULT LIFE
They had us lining up in rows
Relieved us of our rags and dressed us in new clothes
They taught us things we could believe
About a desperate world, filled with misery
I remember dim sunlight
Washing us until we were right
Living in the cult night and day
I heard them singing in the streets
I saw them sharpening their teeth
They waitied, sizing up a lamb
I saw them poised and ready to attack
What once was brilliant white
Turns crimson red in just one bite
Living in the cult night and day
Why won't you look me in the eyes?
Oh how the darkness stalks the light
Why can't we leave this group behind?
What would we ever do without cult life?
I remember dreaming of
Violent grace and honest love
Living in the cult night and day

MARATHON
I've been running in a terrible race
Through Arizona down to silver lake
Brooklyn's cold
Chicago won't be swayed
By the length of my stride
And my vicious pace
Oh my darling I'll be clear
I'm about to leave you here alone

Serious Way

SERIOUS WAY
I want a hope
Hovering up above like a star
Tied to a rope
So I can hold it whenever I want
I want your love
Stabbing me like some serious way
I want your heart
I'll drink your blood and I'll eat your body
Can you help me out?
When I'm on my way down
Like a cigarette lit up
Like a cigarette lit up
I'll have your shame
Washing over me like a terrible wave
When your luck runs out
I'll be the bed where you can lay down
I will help you out
When you're on your way down
Like a cigarette lit up
Like a cigarette lit up

HOLY WAR, BITTER PROPHETS
Love, I've been waiting
For you to step out into honest light
And I wish you'd come around sooner
For I fear that the end of days is nigh
Will you meet me after the rapture?
When things will be set right
Oh I hope you'll be there
So we can live together after life
Oh, oh, oh
I don't want to see what I'm seeing
When I'm dreaming of you
Holy war, bitter prophets
The stars will fall from their place in the sky
And honey you
You can't stop it
No matter how hard you try
And I will be gone
