Always been more empty space than matter
Some fading background noise
Drowned out by the clatter
Hoped there'd be reward for listening
Some gaudy sundrenched gates, forever glistening
Until I stole these words and melodies from someone with whom God wished to speak
With one thousand eyes or none you could see God's teeth eclipse the sun
We were all just one healing limb
And we'd cut off the cast with every hymn
Tried all of my days to escape this
Lord, all I've ever been was your witness
Until I stole these words and melodies from someone with whom you wished to speak
With one thousand eyes or none you could see God's teeth eclipse the sun
