lyrics

I could not let blood into my thoughts
I could not save face and play it off
I could not be blood with blood washed off
or I’m a liar

It was not unlike the peak of day
brighter than the brass around your name
when I saw a light, and in that blaze
I heard a choir

Shadow offices, ex deo
Every orifice can say so
Make us pay for this and lay low
On the precipice, the let go

People just get sick and torn apart
Trouble in the air to make it start
Written in your fists, a pack of cards
a book of prayers

It was like an eye inside my eye
watching from the glass or power lines
What I heard it say, my own design
or something higher?

Give an offering, ex homine
Say the names you know your mother’s way
If it’s meaningless transparency
may my loneliness transfigure me

I could not let blood
I could not let blood
I could not let blood
I could not let
