Some read the story of sacrifice As a warning against misbehavior And some read the story of sacrifice As a knock-down drag-out Tragic comedy And you serve that foolish heart of yours For what Entropic instrument Rains down undressed God's great indifference Do your words touch the ground with love Or do they just fly away For fear they may graze the truth Oh jesus that was too close And sometimes your heart beats so loud That it wakes you in the morning with a start And the only requisite here Is that some fire has issued through you Ceaselessly And sometimes these devils carry you Away away away away away In sworn slipshod cross purposes And I drive myself crazy Trying to parse it out Do your words touch the ground with love Or do they just fly away For fear they may graze the truth Jesus that was too close And the drums are beating louder now We knew this day would come Assail the useless subject At the altar of a moment's thought Do your words touch the ground with love Or do they just fly away For fear they may graze the true Oh jesus that was too close
