lyrics

Locked in these cages
And glued to the floor
Biting at cut up hands that don't
feed us anymore

Nothing to offer
My patience is swept
Wiped clean entirely
I'm left to repay this debt

When these words are spoken
Only then can you see
When this life is over
Only then will we be free

Counting my paces, retracing my steps
Worried all night and it scares me to death
The loss of life is a song that haunts
Confused as to why I hum it all night long

When these words are spoken
Only then can you see
When this life is over
Only then will we be free

Hail Mary,
Hello how are you?
I greet you with love and
I'm sorry to bother you it's just that
Your son, well he...
...has left me
And if I'm being honest it's damn near lonely
My hour of death has come, its arms open wide

Hallelujah, O Mother of mercy
You took long enough, I'm tired of waiting
In all the words that I said
I have one last request
May I rest in peace,
Amen

When these words are spoken
Only then can you see
When this life is over
Only then will we be free
