lyrics

I got the tears of the devil
All shot up in my bones
It makes me fear for myself
And fear for my happy home

I got the bad blood boiling
Up from where my heart used to be
And my mind is infected
With sweet apathy

When I woke up this morning
I was on the killing floor
Staring straight into a face
That I had never seen before

It said "when you look into the sun
Everything around you grows dark.
Remember this, my son
And you're bound to go far"

The paint is peeling
Off of the sky and falling into the hills
And that smile on your face is giving me the chills

I know the way home
Like I know the sign of the cross
Save your wretched breath
Can't you see that we're lost

Pray that your sweet darling angel
Comes and takes you by the hand
Remember who you are if you can

You can yell and scream all you want
This ain't no kind of church
The more you believe the more it hurts

I got the tears of the devil
All shot up in my bones
It makes me fear for myself
And fear for my happy home
