lyrics

She lived a life alone
Surrounded by the ships and stones
Where diamond rings and all the pretty things were only
Decorations for the bones

So who's to say she's wrong
It's been this way so very long
They came in droves to find her cove
And get her back where she belongs

They talked about a promised land
In words she'd never understand
They spoke in tongues of sand and sun
The blood dripping from their hands

They led her past the coral shelf
Scattered with discarded wealth
Blind conviction was their affliction
Gave neither happiness nor health

Apologies in tow
In the phosphorescent glow
Of the moon, she just assumed
She’d be absolved of undertow

She crept towards the dine-in chapel
Fluorescent lights and candy apple
Paint to match the saints
Outside, knelt down, groveling in the gravel

Gator-skin collection plate
The leader with a mighty weight
Made his decree in LED
Persuasive psalms of love and hate

“Pennies are for paperweights
Nickels only crack the gates
But dollar bills if it’s your will
Might save you from your incandescent fate.”

She crept back towards the sea
With a hardened heart and paper knees
Side by side with a fire-eyed
Beggar, begging for relief

So tell me who will save your soul
And who’s your devil now?
