Twelve Fingers

Urchin hearts leaving all the ones you are deceiving
Crashing down
To meet your heart in hell
Burning like another
Portrait of your brothers
How many lies
Can your sober tongues tell

He would have had 12 fingers
And a mother and father on fire
A broken vessel
And a man too tired for trying

What's in a name?
I could never stand mine
But you already knew that
So much to say
Though I don't know
I'll ever get the chance now

You kept biting til we knew
He wouldn't be coming becoming

From a den of snakes
I thought it was loving
It was nothing

It turns it there's a fault in my measurement of time
Love is manic
Truth is loneliness and wine
With all hope lost it cost another piece of mine
Grabbing at the scraps of what you had
When you thought you grew to need a fleeting sense of sins
And our fall from innocence was far from above

Oh
Sell me on trust
Sell me on love

She kept biting til we knew
He wouldn't be coming becoming

From a den of snakes
I thought I was loving
It was nothing
