Stay Lost

It's not the psalm of the summit coaxing us to the cliffside
Not the lure of the lather that drags us undersea
It's the delicate tether binding us close and you to me

It's a ride in a barrel, out and over the fall's foam
Then the punishing landing that knocks our wind away
It's the ordeal of splinters, like relics for a future holiday

I'm not on my knees for nothing. I don't knock on wood

We never bowed heads to serve the devil
We never climbed up to kiss the cross
Nothing but idols
We might as well stay lost

If you're giving the choice 'tween being
Either two timed or double-crossed
His kills come in threes now
We might as well stay lost
We might as well stay

Not a wink, not a whisper for 40 days, that's a long time
There was no wine or water out in the wilderness
And He made me a martyr 'cuz someone had to fill the job, I guess

I don't wear this ring for nothing. Watch me knock on wood

We flew too close to wake, we wandered
We got ambushed and albatross'd
Can't trust who to follow
We might as well stay lost

They send alarms, we don't owe an answer
Let's be rude through the slow defrost
We ache for each other
So honey, let's stay lost

Call off the search and the pity party
Give the bloodhounds the weekend off
We're out on our now
We might as well stay lost

I've got no ID. I've got no signal
Don't have to worry about the cops
If we don't start over
We might as well stay lost
We might as well stay
