lyrics

i heard you were a good man,
but tell me about your soul.

behold: your soul.

salt was sent to dry
the water-logged insides
of the cripple ear
so that it could hear.

but if i am salt
why cant I halt
the water running
into your ears?

behold: your soul.

i have seen destiny manifest in little trees.
and even when i do not believe is does not mean that it cannot be.

and i have seen you little dear and i have bled some hopeful tears. So that one day you may fear what is near.

the smoke stains. on your teeth.
they are testament to defeat.
that your bones are dying.
while you are lying.
convince yourself it doesn't tie in.
while the angels are crying.

love is crying.
inviting you to dine in.
but you have denied it.
but you are still invited.
