Warm Obedience
Give me medicine, a gun to win you back
Suck the venom and our sin, it fades to black
heal the bite
You’re selling them a song for a wavering return
you think that only you can brave the longing left to burn
so can I
So many tightened arms that drag you in
hear them swell and buzz around your ears
the other side is breaking down the fence
destroy themselves in warm obedience
You say you still believe in him when all of this has passed
what kind of god is your god who sells us out so fast?
who’s laughing last?
(chorus)
It’s easier to forgive when our defense is at rest
I will call and tell you that I always loved you best
we’re phasing out our permanence
bloodletting overnight
when the war is over maybe then we’ll reunite
heal the bite
