lyrics

I’ve been gone only days
I came home to a place
I would call something less
Than what it was before I left

It turns out that what you know
Can just be bought or even sold
Like a watch or a guitar
Or a lover from the dark

Jesus, you ain’t welcome here no more
Unless your water turns to oil
And you can do without the poor
I’ve talked to God just once before
When I was young and lost a friend
Wondered what he took him for

I’ve been gone only days
I came home to a place
I would call something less
Than what it was before I came

I was sure about the way
I would live day to day
I won’t change, but I will die
With many others by my side

Jesus you ain’t welcome here no more
I hate to be the one
To break the news to someone’s son
I’m not the one to lay the brick and mortar
I’ll go through the doggy door
We aren’t people anymore
I’m just ashamed as you
Who don’t know what the fuck to do
We may be the ones to roast, but every demon has its host
And we’re the ones they need the most
