G#m C#m
(muted) G#m
Oh and God, just leave that Abraham alone
He wants a C#mson, he wants a son
Everybody wants a home
Though I’G#mm not quite sure if poor Isaac would agree
“My God,”C#m he said, “what did I do
to make you wanna watch me bleed?”
And I feel G#msick tonight, I feel just like
The dancing flame on a funeral light
And I’C#mm not sure if I want you to save me
And I’d bG#me less uptight
if I knew the sight of blood
was just a weakness
And C#mnot the whole reason
that you made me
Cause sometimes I think it G#mis
G#m C#m
Oh and G#mGod, just go and leave me all alone
I’m not youC#mr son, I’m not your son
Everybody dies alone
Was this G#mworld just not quite hard enough for you
I guess like C#manyone you’ve got
Your own scores to settle too
And I’m sG#mo pissed tonight, I feel just like
The last remaining Canaanite
And I C#mdon’t think that I will be returning
And if you G#mwanna see the irony
And the savage price of piety
There’s C#ma lot of us who are going to be burning
How does it G#mfeel?
G#m C#m
And the Esorrow that I know
when I’Bm alone, I can’t express
All these Edarling angels singing in my Bear
And the Ecomfort of their touch,
it cuts right Bthrough this emptiness
And it’F#s everything I want and everything G#mI fear
But I don’t feaC#mr God!
G#mHoooooC#mooo x2
That Echild was my friend
I spent a Blong time with his curse
I can Efeel him trembling beneath his Bplea
I don’Et know if there is water
All I Bknow is there’s this thirst
And it F#might be for the best
Though I’m not quite sure if Isaac woulG#md agree
