lyrics

[birdsong, crickets, wind in an open field, a body swinging an axe nearby]

a pain without yield
splitting my fingers, curling my spine
a fire that licks at my heels
am i losing my mind?

when i close my eyes
the same prayer sits on my tongue
how much longer can i keep it in my mouth
like a bell that has yet to be rung?

i can't say the words
can't seem to solve my own math
watch the light on the wall of my bedroom
move down the same path

and when you call my name
i cannot close my fist
from where i'm standing
all names are just proof you're on somebody's list

ring out, bells

i don't pray for beauty
i don't pray for grace
i don't pray for heaven to know my face
i don't pray for love, no mercy for me
i don't pray for a god to bring me to my knees
i don't pray for beauty
i don't pray for grace
i don't pray for heaven to know my face
i don't pray for love, no mercy for me
i don't pray for a god to bring me to my knees
to bring me to my knees
to bring me to my knees
to bring me to my knees
to bring me to my knees
to bring me, don't call me
to bring me, don't call me
to bring me, don't call me
to bring me, to bring me

can you see right through me?

o if you only knew what i pray for
o if you only knew what i pray for
o if you only knew what i pray for
then finally i could lay down my body and rest
