Cause i was born into the western worlds
ghost
And my mistakes are made in a place of
hope
You said you expects sanctum from
me
And maybe i can learn to love but can not
receive
If the christ died for me one time for all my
crimes i doubt he would again
Cause if id died for all your lies i would
not cry but i doubt we'd be friends
Tell me was it something i said
Cause when it gets so cold no one answers my
prayers,
Tell me was it something i said
Cause when it gets so cold no one answers my
prayers,
And they won't make up for your
life
Cause they cant make up for the
strife
Cause i was born with our sin in my
throat,
So when our time came no doubt, i was bound
to choke
If the christ died for me one time for all my
crimes i doubt he would again
Cause if id died for all your lies i would
not cry but i doubt we'd be friends
Tell me was it something i said
Cause when it gets so cold no one answers my
prayers,
Tell me was it something i said
Cause when it gets so cold no one answers my
prayers,
And they won't make up for your
life
Cause they cant make up for the
strife

i grew up alone,
you taught me what home is,
saved me from myself,
you cared about my health oh,
i grew up alone,
you taught me what home is,
saved me from myself,
you cared about my health oh,
darling do you know i took pieces of our souls, dug up little holes,
buried them so they may grow,
so they may grow,
darling do you know i took pieces of our souls and dug up little holes,
buried them so they may grow,
so they may grow,
you may ask if its about god,
you may ask if its about love,
maybe its all about loss,
all of the above,
and ive known unity,
and i know separation,
and ive met janus,
and ive felt vacant,
all of the above,
all of the above,
oh, darling do you know i took pieces of our souls and dug up little holes,
buried them so they may grow,
so they may grow,
darling do you know i took pieces of our souls and dug up little holes,
buried them so they may grow,
so they may grow,

i left my heart in my ankle,
when that car hit, when that car hit,
i kept your guilt in my pocket,
where you left it, where you left it,
you were drunk out of control, but now your married it all feels so old
when you fed me to the floor
i searched for god but i'm not so pure,
for i know im loves job and this i fear i do adore,
for i know im loves job,
and this i fear i cant ignore,
when our vessels come together,
we never think theyll fall apart,
and though we said it'd be forever, we must look back and just laugh
searching for something my parents have,
this body will perish for this im glad,
the infinite and the eternal in both my hands,
my internal self fails to understand,
but i met it in arms over seas,
curious for what ive overseen, what ill take with me
some say we're all pawns in a game
i refute this till my jaw goes lame,
this is for those who knew there was more,
this is for those who patiently endure
this is for those who felt there was more,
this is for those who patiently endure
