Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't see the light
I'm thrown in disgust
They speak of feats
He housed forever
A howling wind
Changed my course
It blew me out
Of bounds so sore
[Verse 2]
All the walls
All the walls that bound me
Descending, bleak, and put upon
[Verse 3]
I chew my cheeks
To wake up numb
A vase grows bigger
To my eyes
These eyes that snicker
And despise
A wall grows taller up to doom
[Verse 4]
Shoes in my room
Thrown in disgust
At how I fall
To my worst
[Verse 5]
Of course you say
You don't understand
Your words, your fiction
Your crooked hands
[Verse 6]
Clearly now
I tell you, man
That all I say
Is all I can
For I am nothing
But my sin
Until I learn
To cast them in
[Verse 7]
While young girls' fangs
And crystal wrists
Wait patiently
For me to twist
I look away
To distant rains
[Verse 8]
To water falls
And honey days
And boys in black
And blue rinse eyes
Gaze whistly at my slender thighs
[Verse 9]
I twist a shade to my right
I spit at Beelzebub on sight
And go on loving all I see
For here, I live on patiently
Clearly now, I tell you, man
That all I say is all I can
For I am nothing but my sin
Until I learn to caste them in
[Verse 10]
I twist a shade to my right
I spit at Beelzebub on sight
And go on loving all I see
For here, I live on patiently
Clearly now, I tell you, man
That all I say is all I can
For I am nothing but my sin
Until I learn, learn, learn, learn
