On the Lookout

So many sleepless nights I have hammered my eyes
To a gray and shadowed ceiling
Etching with my fingertips, reciting with my open lips
Some fucked up prayer to anxiety

Oh the gods that I feed have got me frayed
A shawl around my shoulders I can't explain

I'm on the lookout for what could hurt me
I'm on the lookout for who could heal me

Take me to your hallowed ground, take me where the cynics drown
In a feeling they can't explain away
All of you with closing eyes, empty out the shallow lies
The ones we tell ourselves will keep us safe

Oh the gods that I feed have got me frayed
A shawl around my shoulders I can't explain

I'm on the lookout for what could hurt me
I'm on the lookout for who could heal me

This shawl around my shoulders
This shawl
It is weighed
With the weight
Of a loss
I can't take

I'm on the lookout for what could hurt me
I'm on the lookout for who could heal me
I'm afraid
Oh give me faith
In the goodness of you
