lyrics

Darling my darling, you're closer than I
could ever have hoped to expect.
stand among shambles of skeleton homes
but don't let them know what you mean.

don't let them hear what you say
they'll stone you reject you and steal you away
so don't let them hear what you say.

Someday your efforts will not be in vain
I'll sing 'till I wear out my lungs.
Loud little people have taken the ladder
but they'll never reach the high rungs.

Don't let them know you don't pray.
they'll burn you reject you and steal you away,
so don't let them know you don't pray.

Darling my darling, they'll pray you away, with mangled old bibles and guns.
everyone's crazy from some kind of drug, or taking one to compensate.

DARLING MY DARLING THEY'LL PRAY YOU AWAY WITH MANGLED OLD BIBLES AND GUNS.
DARLING MY DARLING, THEY'LL PRAY YOU AWAY.

These good old days they're all the same.
just hatred and violence for color and name.
but now there's no cash so more windows we'll smash
until we all get what we're owed.

these winter days they're all the same.
my lungs just won't function blood froze in my veins
but i won't look back on the world
because i don't do what i'm told!

These broken days they're all the same.
just derisive laughter to mask all the pain.
the next storm will blow us away
as sure as it did yesterday.
