Patrick Goble - Acceptance lyrics

My greatest strength contradicts your heart's desire Your two-tone eyes and fickle words just stoke the fire But between you and me, we know the straights are dire We grit our teeth, bite our tongues, and walk the wire Traipsing through Eden to scold the liar I know we're too flawed to be appeased You are my Judas, heavy hearts won't be relieved Hand in hand, we feed each other's needs Till the time come to reveal our dirty deeds Last May after you burned down the church Your alibi seemed all too well rehearsed I saw the embers flicker in your eyes Your box of matches came as no surprise I know we're too flawed to be appeased You are my Judas, heavy hearts won't be relieved Hand in hand, we feed each other's needs Till the time come to reveal our dirty deeds Last June I came home bruised and hurt You smelled the whiskey, saw the grit, grim, and dirt But you washed my face—cool water from the well And spoke of tender times before this living hell But together we'll face the mob at dusk Truth be revealed, we've no one else to trust And we'll stand side by side and face the angry shouts You are the one for me, of this I have no doubt! I know we're too flawed to be appeased You are my Judas, heavy hearts won't be relieved Hand in hand, we feed each other's needs Till the time come to reveal our dirty deeds My greatest strength contradicts your heart's desire Your two-tone eyes and fickle words just stoke the fire
