lyrics

i've been praying selfish prayers
begging mercies from the girl upstairs
don't think she can hear my cry
got bigger things on her mind

i've been living on different streets
walking backwards on my new beat
saving pennies from railroad tracks
painting all my red doors black
stumblin' round on the sides of my feet
bubbling like a bitch in heat
at every ghost i meet

i've been sleeping in my shoes
digging up my dangling roots
sniffing out meaning in the songs i sing
open up my veins for the fat lady
glue her feathers to my face
walk over her empty grave
and then i take it out on faith

i've been praying selfish prayers
heresies and put-on-aires
making out in empty tombs
fertile goddess buds in bloom
swimming out from those minor keys
gonna ask my question of that wounded king
till i belong to everything
