JUDAS SONG.

When the hand of peace takes me
I will not know its face
Through my ride and the hand breaks me
And leaves me broke in familiar space
You can take the world with you
Take it with you when you go
Take the covers and the fixtures too
From the pictures of not long ago
I will find more songs
Scattered outside the frame
And then when I'm gone I will commit them to the grave
Watch the ocean on our TV screen
And pretend it's a window
Sing songs with you in dreams
Then take those with me when I go
The past is written in scars
I know guilt and love's face
Dressed up like a bleeding heart
Take the world with you and leave no trace

The night will free us
The day is Judas
I'll spill blood to stay in bed
I'll spill blood to stay in bed

The night will free us
The day is Judas
You can't see through a closed blind
The night will free them and leave the days behind
And the lows that go with them
Another dawn born, rises a screaming head
The sun is for the rich, the old and the dead
My kingdom to keep the sun from rising
I'll spill blood to stay in bed
The sun curls, the skin shed
Kicking through the garden of rest
I coughed smoke and beat my chest
Squared up to the darkness then fled
I'll spill blood to stay in bed
I'll spill blood to stay in bed

When the hand of peace takes me
I will not know its face
Through my ride and the hand breaks me
And leaves me broke in familiar space
You can take the world with you
Take it with you when you go
Take the covers and the fixtures too
From the pictures of not long ago
I will find more songs
Scattered outside the frame
And then when I'm gone I will commit them to the grave
Watch the ocean on our TV screen
And pretend it's a window
Sing songs with you in dreams
Then take those with me when I go
The past is written in scars
I know guilt and love's face
Dressed up like a bleeding heart
Take the world with you and leave no trace

The night will free us
The day is Judas
I'd spill blood to stay in bed
I'd spill blood to stay in bed
The night will free us
The day is Judas
I'd spill blood to stay in bed
I'd spill blood to stay in bed
