hymns for him

down on my knees in the stalls

i used my lips in prayer

but his ears are closed to my breath

maybe i should just shut up and let him go

oh

i know i should just shut up and let him go

but i can't

i sing hymns for him

hymns for him

but he'll never hear

i sing hymns for him

hymns for him

but he'll never hear

rice paper in my mouth

i choke

gently he holds me

but his intentions are cruel

maybe i should just ask him to loosen his grip

oh

i know i should just ask him to loosen his grip

but i can't

i sing hymns for him

hymns for him

but he'll never hear

i sing hymns for him

hymns for him

but he'll never hear

in the booth i confess

i feel more than lust

it's too late though

i'm turning doubts to truths

i sing hymns for him

hymns for him

but he'll never hear

i sing hymns for him

hymns for him

but he'll never hear
