St. Anthony's Fire

I was angry and I was drunk
Without enough rope to hang it all up
We were sold a tent revival
But brother it was only a trash fire
So, we let it burn
And I returned from the shadow of the wood
One broken wing
Distorted memory
And now I'm all darkness can sing

Ever since I was awake
I've been engulfed in light-less flames
I can't un-think the thoughts that have led me to be
Or be unborn again

When I was a kid, we brushed the blood over the doorway
And watched Death pass down the street
God, I just want to sing about something else
To sing about more than eternal rest
Or every wrong that's ever been
To sing of life
To sing of love
Just give me peace
