lyrics

the day that they walked me on down to the trees
herd the humming of the bees, brought me down to my knees
i lifted my head and cried out into limbo
the rain came down crashing on me.

I’m a suede sweater’d sap with a yellow in my tooth
and the holes in the roof, shined light to the truth
I laid down in my bed hoping to die.
but the hope she got pushed me on through.

You’d think God was cruel, and lonely old thief
cutting life from the earth, his bloodied blade rests in the sheath
I’d agree with you pal, but I’d just hope you know
there’s not one truth its just how ya believe

And there’s ghosts at the door.
An old woman hanging her head.
A broken old broomstick.
A old dog lying dead.
There’s rats in my boots
and there biting my toe
And the weights are getting
harder to hold.

and the day they walked me to the old wishing well
watched my coin as it fell, my wish falling down into hell.
i hoped for a while that it’d come true.
i keep the key you see the dreams are locked in a cell.

sometimes i think about the boy I killed as I grew
he had the same name as me, thought the same stories true.
I watched in the mirror as he fell down and died.
and this old soul got a little more blue.

we can burn away the flesh that traps all our fears.
wax waking heaven, with angelical tears
Cuz every saints got a past. And every sinners got a dream
I’ll be waiting for you all right here.

And there’s ghosts at the door.
An old woman hanging her head.
A broken old broomstick.
A old dog lying dead.
There’s rats in my boots
and there biting my toe
And the weights are getting
harder to hold.
