GLASSJAW LYRICS

1. Black Nurse

Beyond poor
Beyond ostracized
Destined to be obscured
Beyond right in your offset eyes

On dominus ground
If what I say isn't true
I do it to reason with you
Kiss and no tell
The police down at the motel

I'm aware, I see
Yet somewhere as you reach down
I'm afraid you'll want me to go without

I'm aware, I see; yes, I do
Yet somewhere as you reach down
I'm afraid you'll want me to go without
To return what I've given out

Beyond poor
Beyond ostracized
Destined to be obscured
Beyond right in your husband's eyes
Does he bow when you're around?

What I say isn't true
But I do it to reason with you
Kiss and no tell
The last man in was the first to take the vow

I'm aware, I see; yes, I do
Yet somewhere as you reach down
I'm afraid you'll want me to go without

I'm aware, I see; yes, I do
Yet somewhere as you reach down
I'm afraid you'll want me to go without
Return what I've given out

2. Gold

Without a reason
There is nothing left to say
You pray for division
But the hope gets in the way

I must say, please don't let me down
Please don't let me down

How long I have been willing
How long before I breathe you out?

Without a reason
There is nothing left to say
Hopeless provisions
The tongue gets in the way

Still I say, please don't let me down
When the man comes, he'll pay to say
That happenstance gets in the way

How long I have been willing
How long before I breathe you out?

If the sun beats down on me
It would be a shade of halo
You've never, never, never, never...

Please don't let me down
Please don't let me down

How long I have been willing
How long before I breathe you out?

3. Vanilla Poltergeist Snake

I'm hoping to be proud
Hoping that it shows
I look in the mirror
Hoping that he knows
My heart is to be found
Giving way to getting wet
Red tide
I find it so peculiar
How you sit and stare

No one gets out alive
No one

For now and always
Hoping for the best
A pretty cigarette
Leaves the head a wreck
I beg you to believe
Assumption leaves you in
Red tides
I find it so peculiar
How you sit and stare

No one gets out alive
No one

4. Miracles In Inches

I hope contempt for God as well
And his faux religion
We undersell
If I've reason to believe
To soul lies to itself
I'll show them mercy
But will I lie to myself?

And again you'll find
A miracle in inches I know you will

I hold contempt for her majesty
She answers only to charity
Ready my head for disbelief
But superstitions help
I show them mercy but do I lie to myself?
I'll hold contempt for God as well
(until he delivers by hand)

And again you'll find
A miracle in inches I know you will

5. Stations Of The New Cross

The crow arises
And steals the dreams from my eyes
Kneel down and kiss the ground
Stations of the new cross
Yet at the faintest light,
Even his conscious is eating him alive

I believe in
Regret for when the morning appears again
I believe in one regret to hold
You when the morning appears again

Dawn of devotion
Temporary nuance
I light fire to bait a prey
Simpler than you are
Though you don't believe I might
Even his conscious was eating him alive
Tell the world

I believe in
Regret for when the morning appears again
I believe in regret for when the sun appears again

The crown arises and plucks
The dreams from my eyes
The stations of the new cross

6. Daytona White

Still I fail to mention
Our happy home
Here I face the last convention
I must fare alone
Inside the intervention I confess
I'll vow to hate the bottle
Yet I won't mean it
Though when you're merely half awake
You fear me

Daytona White
You're leaving me untied
Daytona White
In your closed hands
Two closed eyes
I tend to grace the bottom
Daytona White
