lyrics

do you see the same things I do
in morbid visions of the night
I'll confess I'm in need of some discipline
a circumcision of the mind

a single moment's indecision
can mean the difference of a life
wait for the signs of antipathy
I'll be coming right behind

is it time to take our things and go running for the line
make up your mind
there is nothing here that's worthy of the sacrifice
why keep me waiting in the dark
as if you and were I born to all this suffering in our stars

Jabob wrestled in the desert
with an angel who would not give his name
does faith only come to me
in my anguish and shame

witness to your own decline
you just lie and tell yourself it's alright

is it time to take our things and go running for the line
may I remind
there is nothing here that's worthy of the sacrifice
why keep me waiting in the dark
as if you and were I born to all this suffering in our stars
