about

with apologies to Alfonso Cuarón

lyrics

There is blood on my hands, but there is a reason for what we've done
Don't look back on all the problems it's caused, the problems that we've solved
Will justify, so turn a blind eye

Oh God, why have you forsaken us? These illusions make for such great escapes!
Though every synapse leads to something great
We fear the means which hope does not stray
Away from my body. Take me away from this place, and I'll follow you to the end!

And we're here pounding on these walls but no one hears your cries
Lord, we wait for your return!
We've lost our way! We dig our own graves!
This is a place of broken hearts and broken dreams and it's killing me to watch it bleed
Still pounding on these walls, and there is nothing new. Have we bled ourselves dry?
Our own tongues deceive us! We dig our own graves!

And it won't be long, it won't be long. We wait for your return
Our tongues are tied, we are deceived!
We are deceived by the grace of man
And can we be redeemed?

Our hearts grow cold
But our salvation lies just past the water's edge!

Can these soiled hands hold me up in time for you to return?

O how thou art destroyed, o city renown!
