lyrics

first let's count all the plates scraped
against the sink, the sound swells in my ears
next let's bandage the hands
two devices I meant as a means to an end
towards better things
but spare your disbelief
this can't feed me for long
what's resurrected came back wrong
the cost swallows what's been sunk
doing what your hands should've done

though I'm now well beyond
they tell me I was born a blonde
I got well with God
I glimmer, then I dull, then I'm gone

so you feel you're slighted?
I've got news for you
I go where I'm invited
when I'm told to

third let's count missing ribs pressed
against the skin, the heart swells uncontained
next let's boil the rest
when left open the chest cavity uncompressed
speaks disarming things
but spare your disbelief

though I'm now well beyond
they tell me I was born a blonde
I got well with God
I glimmer, then I dull, then I'm gone

I swear I saw the earth get that much darker when I watched your light go out
if this feeds me a little longer I will concede this doubt

last let's retread the steps
that led us into this trench
and hope that something will change
pray the cycle will break
but spare your disbelief
