lyrics

Blood drips on stone
And these borrowed bones and stolen skin
They are not mine
It's just a shape I'm sitting in
These clumsy hands
Are stained in wine or something more
Pick broken glass
From empty bottles on the floor

This mess is mine I will clear it up
This mess is mine I will make it good
I will make it good I will make it right
I will make it good I will make it

This spreading stain
Lays out a map across the floor
In strange straight lines
It builds on crimes that have bled before

This mess is mine I will clear it up
This mess is mine I will make it good
I will make it good I will make it right
I will make it good I will make it

This ancient rock
Is broken layer on layer
Cold hungry thirst
Takes fire and life and prayer
These colours fading from my eyes
From this stone and from this time
We just pass through we don't remain
Become stone on stone and stone again
