lyrics

The night bled gold when I was sealed
Upon my bed, thy words they healed
This wretched heart become a shield
Stroking my hair, thy voice appeal

St. Joseph in your wedding spoons
St. Lucy sees through empty rooms
St. Patrick cleanses evil words
St. Francis sings with morning birds

You take me home with you
Tell you the things I wanna do to you
Gather my blessings, watch my blood as it pools
Abandon me guessing, now I’m one of the fools

The evening’s parties are a rush of sin
And lest you know whose house you’re in
I gaze upon you like a prize to win
I kiss you hard into that growing grin

St. Nicholas gives us children toys
St. Anthony chases faded joys
St. Catherine burns the factory down
St. Agnes lowers your modern gown

You take me home with you
Tell you the things I wanna do to you
Gather my blessings, watch my blood as it pools
Abandon me guessing, now I’m one of the fools

Deny me, validate me
Suppress me, undress me
Declare me, announce me
Touch me, call me your same
Love me, serve me
Surprise me, unravel my brain
Teach me, follow me
Ravage me, take my pain
