I pulled out all yr stitches
One by one with my sharp teeth
And everything you ever said
Was written underneath
And the blood, it flowed like water
But it tasted like tinfoil
The colors in the western sky
Were coming to a boil
And God bless yr deceptive heart
And God bless all things in the dark
God bless me
Or anything at all
I tore down all yr statues
With a chisel made of bone
And when the last one crumbled
And I found myself alone
Tried to hide down in the shadows
But the shadows were no more
So I heaped up all the rubble
Started building like before
And God bless yr deceptive heart
And God bless all things in the dark
God bless me
Or anything at all
