lyrics

…live. Thank you, man. I can now
say what I’ve been
thinking for years.

Yeah!

Thank you for using the faith from the mouth and out the lung.

I’m a dirty man, a dirty man, a dirty man.

One priest and a boy in a basement…
Turn the media light off
for this one,
for this one.

How absurd I must be
and how my lungs have failed me.

One priest and a love in a courtroom.
Turn off the light for that one.
Turn on the light for that one.

How absurd I must be.
How absurd my lungs are.

An awkward dance and a smooth set of jaws

An awkward dance and a man losing faith
to a church
that has carried him
to his children…

to a church
that has carried him
to his children.

Art within a book
and this meaning is?
With everyone deciding life,
with everyone wanting to buy in.
Art within a book
is meaningless
with everyone wanting and deciding
life… life… life…

Cleaning out the church.

Art within a book
and this is meaningless.
With everyone deciding life,
with everyone wanting to buy in.

Cleaning out the church.
Coming back.
Cleaning out the church.
Let’s peel it back.

Yeah!

Yeah. Oh, yeah!

They cannot save us
with one book.

They cannot save us.
One book.
