Arm's Length Prayer Lyrics

I was born on a day that God was sick

I was carved from the useless pieces

I'm playing bloody knuckles with the concrete

And tug of war with this broken sickness

The flowers in my gut are rotted

My teeth are curtained with blood

Paint the asphalt with my coffee ground vomit

Apologize until you say we're good

I dropped the torch from my mouth

But you — a steadfast Lord Hound

Brought you bundles of carnations

But, I tarnish your salvation

You've been talking in your sleep again

Or I've been talking with a demon

They're all strangers

An arm's length prayer

We buried Saint Rita

In the gaps between my teeth

They fixed all of the street lamps

So we can finally see our feet

When we're dancing with magnolias

In the February breeze

I can't let go of

Dying like the evergreen

I've been working on the making the pieces fit

They name cities after feelings like this

I've been working on the making the pieces fit

I'm getting used to the getting used to it

You've been talking in your sleep

And I'm paralyzed in my dreams

Brought you bundles of carnations

But, I tarnish your salvation

At least, that's what you said

Mrs. Dalloway of the Midwest

They're all strangers

An arm's length prayer

We buried Saint Rita

In the gaps between my teeth

They fixed all of the street lamps

So we can finally see our feet

When we're dancing with magnolias

In the February breeze

I can't let go of

Dying like the evergreen

They name cities after feelings like this

They name cities after feelings like this

They name cities after feelings like this

They name cities after feelings like this
