lyrics

Oh the devil's prayer
is in your heart
all the good things in your life
how quickly you defend them
as if you were owed them

Oh a cloven hand
guards all the sad songs
to keep them private
to cradle the injuries
and nurture them into wounds

but I will not be destroyed by the quest for faults
I will open my arms to the tropics of phenomenon
there are so many ways to read the scales
and it's worthwhile to see the numbers as just shapes sometimes.

Oh a haunted hand,
a busted tooth,
you must steer them through the moonlight,
a birth of shells,
the morning bells is not begot by begging promises

oh crooked smile
a crucible
you must rise to face the new dawn
love is welcoming
your strength is hidden in the newness of an unknown day.
