our lady of the immolation
what dreams spin around your head
what images do you carve
while you are sleeping in your bed
what holds your eyes closed?
and what questions do you hear
where do you go when your breathing slowed
and why didn’t i meet you there?

because i’ve played your chaperone
i’ve been your medicine
i’ve held back demons
while they were begging to get in
and we’ve shared sunny days
proscecco in the park
i watched you build an empire
out of blood and pearls and gl-ss

and you’ve got too much pride
to let me weep for you
and i’ve got too much pride
to let you weep for me

we share a scaffold
a tiny sp-ce between the ropes
a half forgotten moment
between fear and l-st and hope
where we’re lost in the sandbanks
whipping up the devils in the paint
these aching wounds which the world inflicts
upon its wh0r-s and upon its saints

and you’ve got too much pride
to let me weep for you
and i’ve got too much pride
to let you weep for me

now you’ve seen me fall apart
and you’ve saved this sh-tty year
you’ve stroked my head while i spilled my guts
over jars of gin and beer
my life is a wasteland
but i’m contented playing the fool
this confessional to the taper
to our lady of the fuel
