lyrics

I’ll rest in the shadow of my given name
Confession: I’ve come to call the ghost again

You’ll hide in the verses that I couldn’t write
Reflected shallow in the poet’s tide
In all the words he couldn’t rhyme

This song will break
The masochist who lives behind the moon
You are mistaken
Once I’m old I’m just as good as new

We sleep, our hands tied up in paper sleeves
God reads the words that have become of me
The books that he has made of me
But we are just his poetry

This song will break
The masochist who lives inside of you
You are mistaken
The truth has only disappointed you

They made a holiday held in your name
Bloodstained our ancestors are all the same
And that’s our only claim to fame

This song will name
The masochist who lives behind the moon
This song will claim
The books that I have read and bled for you
This song will shame you -
The masochist who lives behind the moon
How can I blame you
I’ve only ever disappointed you
