Tastes Like Sympathy - Birdeatsbaby

I was once a child of God

But then the devil kissed me

He gave me fear, and he said: 'My dear

God will never miss thee'

There’s a price upon my head

And I’m gone

Can the righteous still be lead

By the wrong?

I’ve been waiting for better days

But a cold wind keeps on blowing

If I confess, they say I’m blessed

But my dark heart keeps on growing

Did you want me to pretend?

Carry on

Cos I’ll never be your friend

Or belong

When I think back to sons I knew

That now I have forgotten

That sweet taste of sympathy

The taste of something rotten

I’ve been losing all my life

In the shame

You would beg me to survive

Without blame

Take me back with open arms

I know you can’t resist me

My sweetest kiss, I tell you this:

God, he didn’t miss me
