messy morsels of my self assuring love
oh it's painful kneading
yes i lie and i wrangle with prospective angels
that glare me down in face me with all i do wrong
why do they all look like me?

so i try
and i scream and i beg and i sigh
just to prove i'm alive
and it's alright
cause tonight theres a way i'll make light
of my trecherous life

if i had hands i'd hold up high
my lofty dreams and my alibi's real name
but i have no strength
so i toss and i turn and i spit in the urn
there's a ghost in your eye
there is someone that knows more than i
but i'm quick to deny

so i try
and i scream and i beg and i sigh
just to prove i'm alive
and it's alright
cause tonight theres a way i'll make light
of my trecherous life
make light
