lyrics

Fever broke inside these ethereal walls
Shotgun house - with one long hall
Through an open window - birds singing a song
Found a toy piano - started playing along
After a peaceful meal in an idle ambulance.
Dropped to the floor - broke the amulet.
Put on a brave face - just couldn’t handle it.
Reached for the strongest drink in the cabinet.

Somewhere along the way - good faith was lost
Gonna salvage redemption - despite the cost

Faked it til I made it - learned how to believe
The spirit set free - amen - go on, preach
Sat cross-legged and silent - in the face of the wicked screech
The arrogant scolds - never learned how to be meek
Heard the word - bread alone will not suffice
Shame on me - if you fool me twice
Stained the glass, in shock - at the sticker price
Every soul is called to a kind of sacrifice.

Somewhere along the way - good faith was lost
Gonna salvage redemption - despite the cost

Standing in the graveyard, just humming a tune
It’s always now, it’s a coming soon.
The earth, it shook - the world went boom.
An angel sitting on the stone - just outside the tomb.
Swirling through the head - purple - green - red
A decent reason - to not be dead
Punched a rock - scratched my head
Given wine and fish - let’s break some bread.

Somewhere along the way - good faith was lost
Gonna salvage redemption - despite the cost
Somewhere along the way - good faith was lost
Gonna salvage redemption - despite the cost
