No More Secondhand Gods

from Bells Below by Lil Sluggers

lyrics

Tell me this will all wash out in time
A sieve for your ideas of what life could look like
You dull yourselves repeating what is right
O thou of evil luck, defined in compromise
We’ll dry you off one eye at a time

It’s kicking in my stomach
Some unacknowledged promise
A question five years asking
No harm, no foul, no feeling
One thought betrays another
A cage of straight desire
Is only mine for breaking
One turn deserves another but-

Who did this to you, and what did they take?
Who was it made you feel this way?
What is the thing now that you fear most?
Not sick, not death, not hunger, but the one you were

Come on boys, scream my name
If you love me, I want to feel it
There’s nothing to lose but all your
Piled-up pausing inhibition
I'm starting to feel like dawn comes
Only when you’re ready to rise
I don’t know what I deserve
But at least I know what I like
But tell me-

Who did this to you, and what did they take?
Who was it made you feel this way?
What is the thing now that you fear most?
Not sick, not death, not hunger, but the one you were

Tell me this will all wash out in time
The slush of fresher wounds, from your left hand to my right
My heroes all died young but I’m alive
Now I’m here with you, and Jesus wouldn’t mind
So dry me off one eye at a -

Who did this to you, and what did they take?
Who was it made you feel this way?
What is the thing now that you fear most?
Not sick, not death, not hunger, but the one you were
