lyrics

“Disciple”

[VERSE 1]
Jesus be my daddy
father my light
waltz through my dreams
draped in white
like a child, like a child
I ain’t scared of dyin’,
when I’m livin’ this sick
I’ll be your loyal disciple,
‘till I get my fix
desire. desire.

[CHORUS]
come Mother Mary, bring me a song
it’s been a dark February
I’m just tryin’ to move on
I ain’t goin’ to Heaven
(if there ain’t no Heaven)
so (then) I’d like to live on in a song
song. song

[VERSE 2]
I used to have dreams
now they’ve grown up and died
first you carried my soul
out from the light
you were right. always right.
I feel a darkness
growin’ inside
a seed you planted in me
you knew that it would thrive
thrive.

[BRIDGE]
Mary bows her head
tell it once again
now I am just a man
but me and Jesus,
we we’re just friends

[OUTRO]
and now he’s dead
I pushed that thorny crown a little deeper in his head
I gripped that rosary
tied around his lifeless neck
Jesus, my final savior in the desert
I want to die in your arms tonight
I want the peace; I want the quiet I couldn’t find in this life
absolve me from the consciousness of every man that I touched
even the ones wise enough to scoff my love.
rape me, till I’m dead
rape me, until there’s no blood left
rape me, because that’s all you’ll get
I’ll just die happy to never hear your words again
