Lyrics

[00:36.27] Oh my God, look around this place
[00:43.95] Your fingers reach around the bone
[00:47.76] You set the break and set the tone
[00:51.64] Flights of grace, and future falls
[00:59.95] In present pain
[01:03.79] All fools say, "Oh my God"
[01:17.48]
[01:23.98] Oh my God, Why are we so afraid?
[01:31.79] We make it worse when we don't bleed
[01:35.41] There is no cure for our disease
[01:39.41] Turn a phrase, and rise again
[01:47.41] Or fake your death and only tell your closest friend
[01:55.82] Oh my God.
[02:01.32]
[02:19.76] Oh my God, can I complain?
[02:27.69] You take away my firm belief and graft my soul upon your grief
[02:35.75] Weddings, boats and alibis
[02:43.54] All drift away, and a mother cries
[02:59.35] Liars and fools; sons and failures
[03:06.41] Thieves will always say
[03:13.97] Lost and found; ailing wanderers
[03:20.16] Healers always say
[03:27.04] Whores and angels; men with problems
[03:32.66] Leavers always say
[03:39.66] Broken hearted; separated
[03:45.29] Orphans always say
[03:52.10] War creators; racial haters
[03:57.70] Preachers always say
[04:04.88] Distant fathers; fallen warriors
[04:10.63] Givers always say
[04:17.76] Pilgrim saints; lonely widows
[04:23.51] Users always say
[04:30.32] Fearful mothers; watchful doubters
[04:36.19] Saviors always say
[04:43.07] Sometimes I cannot forgive
[04:46.19] And these days, mercy cuts so deep
[04:49.21] If the world was how it should be, maybe I
[04:53.96] could get some sleep
[04:55.46] While I lay, I dream we're better,
[04:58.71] Scales were gone and faces light
[05:01.93] When we wake, we hate our brother
[05:05.05] We still move to hurt each other
[05:08.18] Sometimes I can close my eyes,
[05:11.43] And all the fear that keeps me silent falls below my heavy breathing,
[05:17.65] What makes me so badly bent?
[05:20.71] We all have a chance to murder
[05:23.83] We all feel the need for wonder
[05:26.90] We still want to be reminded that the pain is worth the plunder
[05:33.15] Sometimes when I lose my grip, I wonder what to make of heaven
[05:39.27] All the times I thought to reach up
[05:42.27] All the times I had to give
[05:45.33] Babies underneath their beds
[05:48.27] Hospitals that cannot treat all the wounds that money causes,
[05:54.34] All the comforts of cathedrals
[05:57.27] All the cries of thirsty children - this is our inheritance
[06:02.90] All the rage of watching mothers - this is our greatest offense
[06:08.40] Oh my God
[06:10.23] Oh my God oh my God
