lyrics

Alms
------

Now I know what you mean to conceal
Ousting every fate that you'd feel
Gather alms in the dark before your curtain call
Turn your eyes, turn your back, turn away from them all
In a passive and meaningless ruse
Until they stop bothering you.

It's pointless to invest much at all
In a hopeless diversion determined to fall
For to suffer this sorrow again like before
Takes your name, takes your form, takes your song from my door
This grift leaves a spiritual bruise
A fading impression of you

So let the demons well up in a storm
A prophetic burden
Painstakingly formed

In your eyes, hollow set
In a cavernous chest
Lies a broken reminder of what you do best
In a skin thin from scorn and abuse
It's heartbreaking thinking of you.
