Don't you fucking lie

On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages

Of a book full of death

Reading how we'll die alone

And if we're good we'll lay to rest

Anywhere we want to go

+

And on my deathbed
I will pray
To the gods and the angels

Like a pagan to anyone

Who will take me to heaven

To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled

And there... you led me on

+

And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death

I will wander on

In your house I long to be

Room by room
patiently

I'll wait for you there
Like a stone

I'll wait for you there
Alone, alone
