Teen Lament lyrics

I was holding an invitation
to meet some danger
around the corner from an evil love affair
Something told me feet get tread
to be moving cause
I felt like I weren t going anywhere
I took a walk past the church house
of my family
the one that left me feeling solo and for dead
I was sickly with all those ghosts
floating in my bottle
so I poured them in the pavement and I said
If Jesus is coming, he better come on
If Jesus is coming, he better come on
cause I m tired of running
I ll get what s coming
down at the altar of my youth
I snuck in through the oak doors
of the chapel
and I lay my weary body on the pew
red crushed velvet neath my halo
I was ready to see his face
and I tell him exactly
what he could do
The sun came shining through
the stained glass.
I must ve fallen fast asleep
through the night
then something told me
feet get ready to be moving
cause I felt like shedding
some of the light
