Paroles de Act Of Contrition

The air was all dust, a night so untamed The ground opened up and swallowed all of the rain and it swallowed you too-- into distance unknown As they sat down for dinner they waited for you to get home yeah, they set a place for you. So don't believe everything that you read, in that diary of yours. And this nervousness, it isn't all your fault it's just these shaking hands won't do what I want them to. And I've tried to guess what it is you thought about that act of contrition that rolled off our tongues as you wept, what are you crying for? Just dust my heart and you will find there are no fingers printed there just the untouched place that lies inside of every lonely boy tonight. And all this open air has caused me to choke on your new-found hope for me.
