David Lyrics

Curious the smile

Tenuous the hold

Embarrassed and uncertain

We enfold

His hands are held together

So it looks just like he praying

But they've never once been answered

And so he's only waiting

Every single word he says

Seems to last a minute

And the faces in between

Last for hours so it seems

And five times he tries

To light his cigarette

But he's shaking so damn badly

The closest he can get

Is a spark, and a breath

Then nothing left

A crucifix on every wall

Forsaking, unforgiving all

Home denied his vision

Drowned in superstition

He burned the walls with acid

So that he could see past them

With a burning rage, a gasping breath

Then nothing left

Saw our games and could not play them

No escaping curious David
