lyrics

Where is the joy
you promised me?
I have been faithful
I have not let the ocean swallow me alive
though it has tried

where is the love
you swore was mine?
I have been faithful
my faith is blind
just like a child you said
just like a child

it is an awful lot like swimming
in the dark

so bury me
I need no more
the constant hammering
alms for the poor

I want you absolute
I wanna put my hand in yours
and see the holes
and feel the shame
and be alive
I want to blame you

it's you I want to blame
it's you I want to blame
it's you I want to blame
