"moses" lyrics

These days, I run blindfolded
Use my two hands to part the sea like Moses
I won't dissolve into pillars of salt, baby
Lest I be swept away
These days, I run blindfolded
Pierce my two hands so it would seem I'm chosen
I won't dissolve, I'll push through the trough
Until my final dying day

Everything was nothing at all, nothing was a settled score, and
Struggling it's all that I do, doing it's my hated chore
When my finger [?] I drown
Waiting for the boat to come around
Gotta give you all that I got, gotta give you that and more
Do you want the clothes off my back? No, I doubt it, you'd abhor them
This fruitless work for the greater good
I don't want it, you misunderstand that

These days, I run blindfolded
Use my two hands to part the sea like Moses
I won't dissolve into pillars of salt, baby
Lest I be struck in it (I won't be struck)
These days, I run blindfolded
Pierce my two hands so you can see my devotion
I won't dissolve, I'll push through the trough
Until my final dying day

"So be careful what you wish for", words spoken from an uncouth
Beware the allure of falsities and half-truths
I spurned that shit 'cause I wanted to
But then I found out one of them was loving you
I tell no secrets, my body harbors no lies
But now I'm fearing I'm stunted, with my hands tied
I never went my way, so I say a little prayer
"Lord, I'm not the evil-doer in this foolish love affair!"

These days, I run blindfolded
Use my two hands to part the sea like Moses
I won't dissolve into pillars of salt, baby
Lest I be struck in it (I won't be struck)
These days, I run blindfolded
Pierce my two hands so you can see my devotion
I won't dissolve, I'll push through the trough
Until my final dying day

No, I won't dissolve
Into pillars of salt
No, I won't dissolve
Until my final dying day
