lyrics

Tapes


Your mothers daughter isn’t breathin’, Standing scared in the mourning after dawn,
You think I’m the help but ive had trouble breathing too.
The void in my head is still calling, come fill my weary heart lonesome child
Come with your mistress and your holy doctor too
And for you I don’t need to fall
And for you I don’t need second chances at all
I’ll drop my hands full of glory, for the chapel I see in you, Its true.


The graveyard saints are dead and missing, the nocturne wheel it spins amoung the stones
Stay with your slave for in your mirror you are always alone
My arms could reach through your fire, I don’t got much but I got a lot to own
I know youre broken and your heart has lost a home,
See for you, I don’t need to fall
And for you, I don’t need to be wealthy at all
Share what ive got this evening
For the chapel I see In you, I do.

And for your holy pavement I don’t need to sigh anymore,
For through the leauges of desire, many drown before the shore.

So call me patient and unmoving, for I aint moving till I smell the evening vine
With no possesions and no people left to find
To stand through thte gates of sorrow
Just to see the meaning of the line
But with your courage ive lost all will to find
And for you, I don’t need to fall, and for you, I would dawn the basement shawl,
We’ll learn to breath in the morning, for the chapel I see in you, you’re long overdue.
