i was aging
in the wrong direction
heading uphill
to the shrine you slept in
i can see you rising
through the haze of morning
breaking up my virtue
i was meant to break against you
if we're all pretenders
what the hell’s the truth for?
i was always caught in yours
but now it’s colored out
i'm a strangled stone
i'm a churchless reverend
i'm a charcoal burned
into something different
so i'm trading out
all the woolen blankets
for a fevered pride
'cause there’s no one to collapse beside
it’s always an iron age
but could i choose my cage?
and is there something to believe in
when i wake?
‘cause there’s always another step
and you can’t see it yet
but i know something’s coming soon
to cause a wreck
if we're all pretenders
what the hell’s the truth for?
i was always caught in yours
but i got colored out
