Sugar In The Sacrament - Thursday

What have you done?

You follow footsteps in the dark

and found your faith

left out behind your father’s car.

You said, «there's no one watching over me or over you, it’s always out of reach…»

I’m sinking still right into:

Oh my god where are you now?

Fractured lives dissolving

Like sugar in the sacrament

If it was just one night

Then we would be released

Tie these lies between our teeth

Keep tearing open bodies

'Let it bleed'

Tonight

Where have you gone?

Off with the friends you couldn’t keep

You mother’s arms

Fill up with all the empty needs

So the saints line up to bring her in,

Comfort her and it’s always comforting

When they start to sing,

the same old:

'Holy holy, lift up your dress

Feel your body dissolving

Like sugar in the sacrament'

«If it was just one night

Then you could be redeemed

Tie these sins between your teeth,

Make hollow promises we’ll never keep tonight.»

This is all we’ve ever known of God.

Fight with me let me touch you now.
