Body and Blood

My body and blood, Lord

My soul and my skin

I'm not sure what they're there for

But I know where they've been

I'm waking up with bruises I don't recognize

I think I died last night

And in a strange twist of fate

I woke up in the same tired state as I do every day

I don't know why I still drink

I think I'm starting to outgrow regretting things that I can barely remember

But one way or another, I can't seem to put this sacrifice to rest

My body and blood, Lord

My soul and my skin

I'm not sure what they're there for

But I know where they've been

And I know what these eyes have seen is easily forgotten

And every day goes by

And everything dies eventually

But nothing happens to the ghost

I woke up in the strangest place

I've got no coat and it's cold but I walk home

Retracing faces and footprints that followed me to your bed

I'd like to stay but I run instead

I left no number, no proof that I exist

Not that you'll need it

You could see the signs of trouble on my skin

I woke up shaking like I always do

And I just know I'm gonna scare you away

My body and blood, Lord

My soul and my skin

I'm not sure what they're there for

But I know where they've been

And I know what these eyes have seen is easily forgotten

And every day goes by

And everything dies eventually

But nothing happens to the ghost

Holy ghost

You still haunt the vacant halls in my bones

It's not that I need you

I just don't have time to move on

Will fear of God send me to heaven

Or am I gonna need something more?

'Cause I've been terrified from the beginning

I just want to know what I should prepare for

But the bible hasn't given me comfort

I was baptized on a bedroom floor

Where I was touched by something other than angels

And I just can't forget anymore

Will fear of God send me to heaven

Or am I gonna need something more?

'Cause I've been terrified from the beginning

I just want to know what I should prepare for

But the bible hasn't given me comfort

I was baptized on a bedroom floor

Where I taught myself this feeling was my fault

And I don't want to feel the shame anymore

My body and blood, Lord

(My body and blood)

My soul and my skin

(My soul and my skin)

I'm not sure what they're there for

(There's still blood on my hands)

But I know where they've been

(I'm still counting these sins)

And I know what these eyes have seen is easily forgotten

(My body and blood)

And every day goes by

(My soul and my skin)

And everything dies eventually

(I'm not scared of the ghosts)

But nothing happens to the ghost

('Cause I know where they've been

I know where they've been)
