The gate should open at my breath I think I take too many This one's the last for a while Walked across the oval with the sergeant bride As the cracks in the parking lot stretched to divide The snow came on It was the first in a while Couldn't tell for sure if it was really real Like a doctor you're numb to even when he's upon you I wash my hands Wash my hair, too You gotta be clean and pretend like you wanna be clean To pull through in a dark world In a dark world It's cruel to be blatant to a life that you've thrown away But there's no use for patience with a barrel of snakes
I think I take too many These are the last for a while Walking ‘cross the threshold and he takes my hand Said he'll promise to like me if I stand in the light Who's got my bag? Who's got a bag for me? Who stands in the corner and pays With her marrow for her treats? In a dark world In a dark world The gate should open at my breath The gate should open when I say go I think I take too many Walking through the doorway, but I'm halfway deep A heartache that numbs you even when it coats you
