lyrics

Make numbers out of clay. leave them where they lay
Give them something to say
They wanna know some more, who is keeping score
What I’m asking for
There was nothing I could do to ever keep away from you
To ever keep the words that I said true
I am not a lowly part, I am the whole, the end, the start
And every word I say’s a world in bloom
Face tragedy in spaces, call it by its name
With no ill will or bad taste
But twist existence with a smile, in gracious self denial
And you’ll wither every vine
There was nothing I could do to drive myself towards further truth
To ever keep the words that I say true
Cut my strings my bleeding heart lies open to the crows, their art
Drives letters into me, I am a wound
But my hate, and my lies, will take shape
Everyone loves a devil, I can give you several
My hate, and my lies, will make change
Everyone loves the devil, for his grace, for his meddle
Lay them down in rows at my feet
And we’ll meet
And who is keeping score, and who is asking for more
From every open door, a sun a moon, what a chore
There was nothing I could do to ever keep away from you
To ever keep the words that I said true
I am not a lowly part, I am the whole, the end, the start
And every word I say’s a world in bloom
But my hate, and my lies, will take shape
Everyone loves a devil, I can give you several
My hate, and my lies, will make change
Everyone loves the devil, for his grace, for his meddle
I called your name (I heard it all)
Where was your voice when I sculpted the
World to match your face my love?
(You lost me from the start my dear. The world is not
Yours to own, its songs are played on immovable stone)
Oh, if only I had known…
