passion play

i should not have hid

where my heart can't follow

cause this grace gets so far

and too hard to swallow

i've been running from saul

he's been giving chase

when i look in his eyes

all i see is my face

are you still on my back

after all these years?

chasing me out of hell

and my nice veeners

i don't know how you stand

when you've got no floor

or how you can breathe

with your hands on boards

i just want to be not what i am today

i just want to be better than my friends might say

i just want a small part in your passion play

do you hear when i call

in the midst of wrong?

do you hear these here words

while i sing this song?

are you caught up in me

like i heard you say?

or just some big cashier

that i'll have to pay
