lyrics

First lines are intimidating.
Is this what you were anticipating: "I got figured out, I got it all down. Take my word for word. Write it all down."?
I got nothing. Well, I got something.
I got something, but it tastes like nothing.
Like shadows dancing on the walls of Platonian caves.
And it's a beautiful dance.
You're a beautiful soul.
Find a false call at the altar call.
Maybe one day I won't be so cynical.
Roman Catholic, Pentecostal. What's it really mean to be non-denominational?
We're throwing fists over Eucharist again. Who's gonna clean the blood from the baptismal?
One body. One body. One body of beautiful souls.
Melancholy Sunday folly, here we go again. So predictable, unforgiveable--What? don't worry I'm just joking. Choking on the hopes that manifest themselves through weeks of strength. Weekends bring the week to an end, and the weakness; what a mess, like Hiroshima.
New earth, old earth, virgin birth. Things don't make sense. Hence faith is how you see. Taste and see the Lord is good scoffer.
Coffer filler, blessing spillers, evangelical pillars, faith killers--no room for us. Hush, we're gonna pray. Silence your questions now because:
Shh.
I ain't got it figured out. Don't got it all down.
