Dusting off the old life from my catholic knees
I've scraped them up good
(Scraped them up good)
Scraped them up good
You doctored to turn them clean
Oh, yes, we are patient, patient
Salt-licked wounds merely bruised
None of that'll matter
None of that'll matter soon
Agitate, see how much you can take
None of that'll matter
None of that'll matter
Everything was moving so fast
Everything was moving so fast
Everything was moving so fast
Everything was moving...
Before my hands had the chance to grow
All I was told
"Good enough's as good as it's gonna get"
Yeah, "good enough's as good as you'll ever get"
Said I made a conscious decision
Shake the skin I been stuck in
Stretched my bones
Believe in nothing
I can't quite seem to catch my breath
(But I couldn't forget)
None of that'll matter soon
(None of that'll matter soon)
None of that'll matter soon
(None of that'll matter soon)
Lord, please, keep my feet flat on the ground
Everything was moving so fast
Everything was moving so fast
Everything was moving so fast
Everything was moving so fast
That's where you came in
Yeah, here we are
Yeah, here I am
That's where you came in
Lord, please, keep my feet flat on the ground
Lord, keep my feet flat on the ground
Everything was moving so fast
Everything was moving so fast
Everything was moving so fast
Everything was moving...
