When I first heard your voice I was barely a boy; painting pictures with strokes of your words. And your storied the brought my first sight of sensation were branded on all that I heard. Playing patty-cake praying, prostration pretending and pinky-swear proof of your love. With your ringaringaringarituals you whispered me mysteries of baptisms, bodies and blood. But the holes in your stories and faults in your fables; I took like a door to my freedom. But when doors led to halls full of serpents and wolves and a dim shade of dark to believe in I fled for your light.
Hold me now hold me you’re all that I know. Hold me my love, you’re my faith alone. Hold me now hold me you’re all that I know. Faith oh my faith, how I need you.
When my loins started stirring you cast be in iron and said I was your only one. When my boyish frustrations turned into defiance you smiled and you gave me a gun. So I fought for my freedom to follow your fictions and saw some good friends hit the floor. For through gas clouds and sand I groped for your hand but found nothing to worship but war. As the blood drained away and the stretchered me out and I savoured the last I could breath in, your whispers rang true and they turned me about from the ensuing darkness I reeled in; I fled for your light.
Hold me now hold me you’re all that I know. Hold me my love, you’re my faith alone. Hold me now hold me you’re all that I know. Faith oh my faith, how I need you.
I was the rooster that died in the sunrise; the cue ball that bent space and time; and you where the tutor that took me for granted and granted my faith as my crime. Now I see your reflection in pixels and protons; the undying deluge of progress. But the tint from your glowing scream veiling catastrophe cannot deny my distress. As the sky falls upon us and earth breaks beneath us we’ll cling to your tail even tighter. For you are disaster, ambitions and laughter; the stitch in the fabric of life.
Oh hold me now hold me you’re all that I know. Hold me my love, you’re my faith alone. Hold me now hold me you’re all that I know. Faith oh my faith, how I need you.
