Lyrics

Heathen

His heart is closing
Right when he is trusted
Who is he close with?
Feeling he owes his
Sense of self to lusting
Days without roses

Oh, he lies to feel like he is someone new
Oh, why don't we leave and go to somewhere new?

I wonder, what is numbness?
And what's a coma?
Into the lights
Closing his eyes in the lane again

He quit looking for the pears in paintings
Intimacy and its meanings
Leaving fondness for weakness
Strangers and desire

I wonder, what is numbness?
And what's a coma?
Into the lights
Closing his eyes in the lane
Driving head into mystery

No feeling but the weight
I'm forgetting, he's forfeiting
I'm deciding that he's quitting now

Filled with the sin of power
This is what he's destined for
In this ugly hour
Again he goes
Where he's gone before
Losing all reason
He's never learning

Someone adored lifts him today
All who stay will know a true love
Someone adored lifts him today
All who stay will know a true love
Know a true love
Know a true...
Know a true love
Know a true...
