catholic knees

dusting off the old life from my catholic knees

i scraped them up good

i scraped them up good

you doctored them clean

oh yes

we are patient

patients

salt-licked wounds merely bruised

none of that'll matter soon

on some ancient day

see how much you can take

none of that'll matter

none of that'll matter soon

everything was moving so fast

everything was moving so fast

before my hands had the chance to grow old

i was told

'good enough's as good as it's gonna get'

'yeah good enough's as good as you'll ever get'

s-s-said i

i made a conscious decision

shake the skin i was stuck in and stretched my bones

believe in nothing

i can't quite seem to catch my breath

that none of that'll matter soon

none of that'll matter soon

lord

please keep my feet flat on the ground

everything was moving so fast

everything was moving so fast

but that's where you came in

yeah

here we are

yeah

here i am

that's where you came in

now

here we are

lord

please keep my feet flat on the ground

lord

keep my feet flat on the ground

everything was moving so fast

everything was moving so fast
