lyrics

I've wrestled with God, manoeuvres and motions
I'm exiled from your thoughts.
Communion in my hands crumble black as sin
The devil’s more than welcome to oscillate through worlds of imperfection.
Find your dreams in the hopes you've only known
Twist and turn through thoughts of imperfection
Find your dreams through the hopes you've only known

Despair, you’re gone beneath the words,
I’m harbouring a fugitive song.

I've brawled the boundless hands, genuflected in devotion
and banished all your prayers.
The Nicene Creed's familiar to me when I feel unsure,
Lord God, I’m rotten to the core.
so I oscillate through worlds of imperfection
Find your dreams in the hopes you've only known
Twist and turn through thoughts of imperfection
Find your dreams through the hopes you've only known
Oscillate through worlds of imperfection
Find your dreams in the hopes you've only known
Twist and turn through thoughts of imperfection
Find your dreams through the hopes you've only known

Despair, you’re gone beneath the words,
I’m harbouring a fugitive song.
Despair, you’re gone beneath the sounds,
I’m harbouring a fugitive song.
