lyrics
I gave it a name
I gave it a face
It grew two legs and it sprouted wings
I taught it to walk, I taught it to fly
I gave it a name
I gave it a face
I rode on it's back and captured everything
We danced to the sun and burned our thoughts on the way
I basked in the light
I borrowed the luck
I'm forgetting the name
I'm forgetting the face
A heavy rain will come...
...and it will wash away all things
The fear I was born and baptized in
All the dirt and the phlegm
Bleach and the medicine
Lifting the shroud, it's dead and gone
The rain has washed nothing
And I know exactly where my ignorance lies
Watching the scales fall from my eyes
And I know my hands quite well
They will never callous, never bleed, never be like the hands of my father.
