lyrics

i’m losing faith just before dark but when the fire’s gone cold i’m still catching sparks and this canyon is a clutter of old scars all of my ghosts they congregate here it’s like a seance of sorts the skeleton years these are the skeleton years and all these temporary days just melt the past away oh holy host of the morning tear apart my winnings and breathe some light into this cage oh lord how i’ve slandered you please forgive me if you’re still with me oh shining hand of the dayspring wake this guardian angel and breath some life into this cave temporary days fight with myself i fight with you but my story’s confused i might as well prove how any other man would be haunted just like me how any other man would be haunted just like me drones in the hive they dissipate but my storybook love incinerates all the yellow eyes and fangs encircling me don’t let the wolves smell my fear anymore temporary days melt the past away
