01. Wishing Wells

Lyrics

<p>I spoke a vow today and asked if god would come and play<br /> I’ve dug a shallow hole for him to sleep<br /> But I swear he just won’t answer me<br /> I call on out is he afraid, I’ll bury him down with the ones he keeps<br /> And if the devil’s listening, I’ll come for him as well<br /> If I suspect he had a hand to play<br /> And if I see his face in town, there’s room for two down underground<br /> Nothing’s gonna stop me ‘til I’m done<br /> Until I’m done<br /> Because tonight I’m killing gods<br /> It’s guilt and frustration, it’s everything between<br /> The silence and the absence hitting home<br /> Peripheral glances and the chasing of a sound<br /> I never knew I’d miss until it’s gone<br /> So ask me how I’m coping<br /> And I’ll smile and tell you “I’m just fine”<br /> While down inside I’m drowning in the fucking rain<br /> Because when everything is empty<br /> And your heart is set to cave<br /> Sometimes all you wish for is a place<br /> Is a place to place the blame<br /> Burn your heaven<br /> Flood your hell<br /> Drown you in your wishing wells<br /> Burn your heaven<br /> Flood your hell<br /> Damn you all<br /> Because tonight I’m killing gods<br /> The incendiary shock wave, scorched earth policy<br /> The devastation that only loss will leave<br /> The chants and incantations of daily rituals<br /> A subtle lapse in brutal honesty<br /> So ask me how I’m coping<br /> And I’ll smile and tell you “I’m just fine”<br /> While down inside I’m screaming ‘tiI I fucking bleed<br /> Because when everyone’s expendable<br /> And your heart can’t take the wait<br /> The last thing that you wish for is the face<br /> Is the face to face the pain<br /> Burn your heaven<br /> Flood your hell<br /> Drown you in your wishing wells<br /> Burn your heaven<br /> Flood your hell<br /> Damn you all<br /> Because tonight I’m killing gods<br /> I spoke a vow today and asked if god would come and play<br /> Because I just want to cut that fucker down<br /> Face me<br /> None survive<br /> The devil and god have died inside me</p>
