La Dispute - He Is Here, He Is Not Afraid lyrics

rate me

We move by instinct, darling<br />

Let our hands be hatchets, let us<br />

Wander blindly, swinging madly<br />

In a forest made of flesh.<br />

We move by instinct, darling<br />

Let our eyes like lepers drive<br />

The doubters from our homes and<br />

Into the bottom of the sea.<br />

And we speak in signals, darling<br />

Let our smoke stitch pictures, let us<br />

Twist in patterns, dull the horror<br />

Of a city still on fire. for<br />

We are like medics handling<br />

Suicide by cyanide with bleeding<br />

Fingers. let us suffer<br />

Completely inadequate.<br />

And we move like lovers, lover<br />

Let me run my fingers down your side<br />

And kiss you right below the eye.<br />

We sleep with shadows but<br />

We never give them bread.<br />

Horror, dress yourself in shame<br />

Or I will tear a hole in you, you harlot.<br />

Burn your eyes, (I will hold your<br />

White-washed bones unto the sky and<br />

Scream "oh god, if you are there, <br />

I hold this body to your judgment--<br />

Give it your wrath or your mercy.<br />

But please pick wrath.")
