lyrics

There's bullets in the streets
and broken dishes on the floor
enough anger in my heart
to take the blame for it all
I could take every bullet back
if I could never feel like that
I'd take all the broken glass
out of your feet

I can smell the sulfur on the podium
and I left all of your roses
drying brittle in the sun
is there anybody left who can forgive me
for all the good and the horrible things I've done

I dreamed a town so perfect
wished I never had to wake
they paid their rent on promises
got drunk on shots of faith
and they called it armagaedon
because they knew it couldn't last
they're remembered only
by the prayer they sang

May we always fail
with the best of intentions
with our hearts always pure
and our souls only human

I have no god for guidance
still I'm praying all the same
may everything I do
be done for everybody's gain
and with no one there to judge or to condemn me
I'm remembered only
by the prayer I sing
