something 'bout my sister her name is written in a book something in her voice we praise God and ask Him about pain something in her eyes she knows what He meant when He said He wept papercuts in the dogears trade your books for The Cross nothing breaks your heart like a lie from a mouth that has tasted Truth nothing makes you want to die like a strained muscle in the Body of Christ well, i thank God for the suffering of bread and wine papercuts in the dogears trade your books for The Cross

cryin' 04:57
cryin' on my break at work feelin' the tug through my friends who aren't here sage underneath my tongue black pepper cracked in my gums got me believing in wavelengths got me believing in God hold you, hold you, hold you hold it, hold it, b-x is whining i can't believe how scared i am now my mouth is dry now i'm gagging cryin' over some girl downtown i thought i liked to drink but i think i just like i'm hungry, i'm hungry, i'm hungry but i won't eat until it's time i know it, i know it, i already know you taste like salt and spices tryin' to dry my eyes before i go upstairs all you had to do was ask now i'm in your arms in the kitchen i sport a black eye and a Bible i won't say i'm i believe in Jesus selfishly i like to call my loved ones so i hear their voices praying through the hesitation all your silence is an "Amen" i won't say i'm sorry

on the phone 04:00
i have no more wants my passions cold i'm free all of my thanks, and Praise and Glory Be you're on the phone with your dad you're on the phone with your dad you know i loved you, but this is so big we're picking out names just when i'm alright with death i don't want to die it is already and not yet fold my hands in reverence to Advent so Holy, Loving; detachment giving into my mind it says this is nothing in the backyard she shows her new dress going inside for a rootbeer float for the first time my spirit tells me this is heaven this is heaven
