Before

There's a place I'd go Before it all broke down Where we carried on and carried the fire But managed not to burn the sea or the town Before we sharpened up our teeth Before the crash and the shame When I could still hear your voice When your tongue still knew my name But you left me there Just a memory How do I feel your love, adrift on this plastic plague of a sea? Is this all of the grace you'll allow? I would kneel down low Under stained glass light To taste your body to taste your blood Then count the minutes till we'd reunite Before the gulf turned black Before this town got too close to the flames When I would wait at the door like a dog For you to wrap your tongue 'round my name But you left me here Just a memory How do I feel your love, adrift on this plastic plague of a sea? Is this all of the grace you allow? I begged you before and I'm begging you now Will the slaughter convince you to stay? The cross wouldn't hold you but this time you won't get away I'll leave you there Just a memory You will not feel my love Adrift on this plastic sickening sea This is all of the grace I'll allow I begged you before, I'm not begging you now The slaughter convinced me to stay But this time you won't get away You won't get away
