Testo Gethsemane Car Seat Headrest

Gethsemane

It promised me a good life if I followed all its wishes
I never missed a prayer and I always did the dishes
What's beautiful is good, but what's that blood along the ridges?
What is that for?

Stones of white preserve the words unspeakable for ages
It's not a place of honor or esteemed deed commemorated
What's left inside is what's evolved from what we have forsaken, check the black box

You puke and spit and beat your fists against it, but it's unshaken (Atargatis)
There's nothing left to offer to restore what has been taken
Your body is a temple, but your holy wounds are aching, leave the fat off

I can do whatever the fuck I want when I want to
You're only wearing my skin
I can do whatever the fuck I want when I want to
You're only wearing my skin
It's just a night in your life
(You're only wearing my skin)
Maybe there's something to take the edge off
It's just the sound of your electric heart
(You're only wearing my skin)
Cracklelacklelai, and you will be calm

You can dial 9-1-1 if you need to
I can't put out every fire
You can call the whole damn squad if you want to
I can't put out every fire
You're just a lie in my heart
(You're only wearing my skin)
Everybody starts out curious
Is there no king behind these walls?
(You're only wearing my skin)
Cracklelacklelai, and I will not fall

I can't put out every fire
I can't put out every fire
I can't put out every fire
I can't put out every fire

Radio tower neck speaks with the accent of my stomach
Early morning birds call with some generator running
A series of simple patterns slowly build themselves into another song
I don't know how it happened

In the false dawn everything is dreamlike and unreal
Somewhere on the periphery is a nightmare I still feel
The fireplace is flickering, black-haired bull is speaking by the bed

You can love again if you try again
You can love again if you try again
You can love again if you try again
You can love again if you try again
You can love again if you try again

Waves wash up the puzzle pieces of high school dioramas
Gifts for your nephew's birthday bring up scenes of childhood trauma
Magic eye clicks into focus, it's something you'd give your right eye to unsee
Is this the only way forward?

I've called to you a thousand times to take away this cup
But there will be no miracles 'til the ransom's added up
Just tell me what you want from me
Tell me what would make it be enough

You can love again if you try again
(I've never seen God in my lifetime)
You can love again if you try again
(Peace in glory above)
You can love again if you try again
(Why is there so little water?)
You can love again if you try again
(You can love again if you try again)
You can love again if you try again

Now you have me as I was born
My breaking heart beats between your horns
What comes next, beloved pet?
I'll be patient waiting for the time to come
To be opened up, helpless and undone

I can't run anymore
I can't run anymore
I can't run anymore
I can't run anymore
I can't run anymore

I lay me down again to sleep
Another soul must be redeemed
Hidden behind a thousand eyes
A hostage heart, a scrap of light

The naked priest, the introvert
The millionaire, conspirator
Misshapen form, rotten wheat
Like war porn, a constant feed

You can love again if you try again
You can love again if you try again
You can love again if you try again
You can love again if you try again
You can love again if you try again
You can love again if you try again
You can love again if you try again
You can love
You can love
You can love

You can love
You can love
If you try
You can love

You can love
