After The Scripture

[00:19.80] After the scripture
[00:24.87] We started to pray
[00:30.83] Holdin' our hands up
[00:34.96] Waitin' for change
[00:39.97] I hardly knew you
[00:44.91] You knew me the same
[00:49.99] So we built a shelter
[00:52.93] While we turned the weak away
[01:18.92] Your mother beside me
[01:23.97] Rattlin' her brain
[01:28.92] Makin' an offering
[01:33.93] Pacing the pain
[01:38.04] We took a picture
[01:43.03] Placed it in frame
[01:48.09] We built a fire
[01:51.09] And we turned the cold away
[01:56.09] And I know it's not
[02:01.06] What you desire
[02:05.06] This pain can't crumble
[02:10.03] Won't soon retire
[02:16.85]
[02:33.84] Everybody there was trying to hide some great desire
[02:42.84] Put away the positives and let that good girl die
[02:52.82] Everybody's prayers were turned into a gradual sigh
[03:00.87] So I paced around the backyard for awhile
[03:11.88] That was bee sting
[03:16.80] A speck in my eye
[03:20.94] A casual movement
[03:25.90] A thief in the night
[03:30.97] Now I can't forget you
[03:35.96] Sword in my side
[03:39.97] Candle that burned me
[03:44.97] Deliver me light
[03:48.93] And I know it's not
[03:52.90] What you desire
[03:57.93] This pain can't crumble
[04:02.90] Won't soon retire
[04:06.92]
