After The Scripture 歌詞

After the scripture We started to pray Holdin' our hands up Waitin' for change I hardly knew you You knew me the same So we built a shelter While we turned the weak away Your mother beside me Rattlin' her brain Makin' an offering Pacing the pain We took a picture Placed it in frame We built a fire And we turned the cold away And I know it's not What you desire This pain can't crumble Won't soon retire Everybody there was trying to hide some great desire Put away the positives and let that good girl die Everybody's prayers were turned into a gradual sigh So I paced around the backyard for awhile That was bee sting A speck in my eye A casual movement A thief in the night Now I can't forget you Sword in my side Candle that burned me Deliver me light And I know it's not What you desire This pain can't crumble Won't soon retire
