Penance / Token / Prayer

from Loss by Earth Telephone

lyrics

I can't trust my brain.
I can hear your words all night in a cruel refrain.

No one deserves this less than you.
No, no one less than you.

If death is a given thing,
then life is a taken one.
In a penace, in a token, and in a prayer,
into a cloth that smells of musty chapel air.

I can't trust my brain.
I can hear your words repeat in a cruel refrain.

If death is a given thing,
then life is a taken one.
In a penace, in a token, and in a prayer,
into a cloth that smells of musty chapel air.

'Cause things are shit, but they're worse for my mother,
and it's been hell on me and my brother,
and I'm ashamed for waving my skinny arms to god
like she's there, like she really even cares.

There's no end to the list
of people I'd replace you with in death.
'Cause no one deserves this less than you.
No, no one less than you.

No one deserves this less than you.
No, no one less than you.
