Saintless

Tubes and wires

And blue light trails

Bleach and coffee cups

And hospital gowns

And bedsheets spread

Like stormfront clouds

The machine in the corner

Making its sounds

Counting hours, counting minutes

Counting seconds, counting sheep

Eyes closed tight

Talking in your sleep

Magnetic strip

And your heart starts beating

Looking up

At the tiles in the ceiling

Gas and air

And drugs and things

You don't even know what half of it means

And then it's there

And it begins

And it's bigger than a man like me

And it's bigger than a man like me

But I said, "This world is dark

With saintless few

So guard your love

But give it too"

And you said

"We're no saints

But that's okay

Would you have it

Any, any other way?"

And then it's there

And it begins

And it's bigger than a man like me

And it's bigger than a man like me

But I said, "This world is dark

With saintless few

So guard your love

But give it too"

And you said

"I'll tell you things

You couldn't dream

I'll teach you all

There is to see"

And I said, "The world is dark

With saintless few

So guard your love

But give it too"

And you said

"We're no saints

But that's okay

Would you have it

Any, any other way?"

And I said, "The world is dark

With saintless few

So guard your love

But give it too"

And you said

"We're no saints

But that's okay

Would you have it

Any, any other way?"

So guard your love

But give

I said, "This world is dark

With saintless few

So guard your love

But give it too"
