Hagiophobia - Trophy Scars

I drag your corpse up off of the road, find a vacant house where we can lay our

shattered bones

Something familiar, something abandoned, somewhere where the vultures can pick

apart our damage

I lay your body, clean it to the teeth, I pray before the sunlight that the

angels capture me

Oh, girl now that you know, practicing voodoo is not my m.

o

But if blood’s what she wants then my blood it will flow over your body and

under the door

I make my penance with wrong I have done under the pressure of a steel-plated

gun

I found a Bible as I scraped up the boards, an ironic piece of laughter as I

cried even more

I felt cursed, I felt blessed, the heart of every angel pumping gold into my

chest

What’s a snake, what’s an apple after you break all the hearts of every apostle

Oh, girl now that you know we’ll be stuck in this house we can call a home

I pull the hammer the barrel explodes out through my mouth and through the

window

Yeah

Pray, I pray, I pray until the end of the night

Pray, I pray, I pray for the end of the night

I pray for my forgiveness, I pray for sunlight

Every little whisper that you spoke to me (Heaven can’t hear us)

Every little promise that you said you’d keep (Heaven can’t hear us)

Every time we sinned I kept it locked under key (Heaven can’t hear us)

Every single priest I paid to bless us to sleep and every time I pray — I pray

our souls God will keep
