Lyrics

Act of Contrition

The air was all dust
And not so untamed
The ground opened up and
Swallowed all of the rain
And it swallowed you too
Into distance unknown
As they sat down for dinner
They waited for you to get home
Yeah, they set a place for you
So don't believe everything you read
In that diary of yours
And this nervousness
It isn't all your fault
It's just these shaking hands
Won't do what I want them to
And I've tried to guess
What it is that you thought about
That act of contrition
That rolled off our tongues as you left
What are you crying for?
Just dust my heart and you will find
There are no fingers printed there
Just the untouched place that lies inside
Of every lonely boy tonight
And all of this open air has caused me to choke
On your new found hope for me
