"Lover Part 2"


I’m living in a car graveyard
my heart is up on blocks
i’m dying on a sail torn ship
i’m wrecking on your rocks
i’ve got a promise breaking foolish heart
that’s broken into three
you took it Father, Son, and Ghost
and i have been set free

i’m dressed up like it’s halloween
i’m greedy at your door
i’m naked as a crime scene
you’re murdered on my floor
though i’m cornered by the words i say
you’re telling me to speak
you teach me how to kill and be killed
and how you set me free

i am my beloveds and my beloveds mine
and i am as surprised as any man born blind
but it’s still coming in blurry
the images i see
but someday it will all come clear
and i will be set free
