Em                               D           Em
Won't you lend your lungs to me, mine are collapsing 
Plant my feet and bitterly breath, up the time that's passing

D                    Em
Breath I'll take and breath I'll give
And pray the day's not poison

Em              D         Em
Stand among the ones that live 
In lonely indecision


Fingers walk the darkness down, mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you've found, you fool it's only moonlight

And if you try to take it home
our hands'll turn to butter

Better leave this dream alone
Try to find another

 
Salvation sat and crossed herself and called the devil partner
Wisdom burned upon a shelf, who'll kill the raging cancer?

Seal the river at its mouth
Take the water prisoner

Fill the sky with screams and cries
Bathe in fiery answers

 
Jesus was an only son and love his only concept
Strangers cry in foreign tongues and dirty up the doorstep

And I for one and you for two
Ain't got the time for outside

Keep your injured looks to you
We'll tell the world that we tried
