lyrics

i never thought i could have what i’m getting now
but you gotta bleed for something right

i’ve been dragging a dead dear up a hill
but you gotta eat what you kill

can’t find a leaf
burn down a tree
kill what you can’t see

they try it every day
but we outlive the flame
that penance aint our way

i dream of a kinder, safer place
for us to grow old in

i dream of a softer, glistening body
for you to put your hands in

I can lead you to water but i can’t eat your fear for you

close your eyes you’ll see
if you can take the leash
and pray along with me

and prayer’s whatever
you do on your knees
so feel thru the breeze

can’t find a leaf
burn down a tree
what’s it gonna be

but prayer’s whatever
you do on your knees

i never thought i would have what i’m getting now
i never thought i would have what i’m getting now
