lyrics

it's been a long time coming but i've finally found the light
while jesus was too busy fighting everybody's fight.
i know it seems to you i've disappeared into myself,
but that's just fine for 29 years sitting on your shelf.

i know i've left a trail of death but i'll tell you that i'm proud
of finding life in speaking things that i've never said out loud.
so call me when you're pinned under that hope you say you've found,
cuz i just know you've bought into the glitter of the sound.

the ache in your breast, the constant unrest, ruining your heart...
you're infirm inside, riddled with pride.

find me if the shine wears off and breathing feels like hell,
family turns to enemy and wishes you no well.
cuz I know what it means to have a voice that is your own,
but it sometimes takes a fire and a couple sticks and stones.
