about

I realized that I have such fun sharing this song when performing live, but I hadn't recorded a version of it.

so here is a version recorded in my bathtub, on a bit of a whim.

lyrics

your sinners heart will never be the same
bled out by the souls that you cannot name
somehow they will find
a way for you to die
that lets you keep some honour for your name

used up and simply cast aside
spoken to fill just a bit of space
a quick fix for the night
is not for what you're meant
for centuries they cried at your might

but the letters had a limit
emotions no face
and they forgot to feel
they forgot to feel

lust is just an easy substitute
scratching and pulling at the flesh
that they want to own
worn by the salt
of tears for the dirtied white gown

pearls and white doves have all been traded
for muted thin facsimiles
is there a way back
to hearts before the fall
of what she said this air was about

but the letters had a limit
emotions no face
and they forgot to feel
they forgot to feel
