John the 23rd — текст песни (Sarah Slean)

Inside a heart
Of freezing boys
Searching for the answer
In a shiney dime

Who beg for sleep
And piece of mind
Why must the aging page
Decide?

Me and John the 23rd have
Tasted these sour words and I
Just can`t shake this belief that it`s not a
Test of devotion or something you read

From the dawn of time
They taught her why
Not to ask those questions
And never cry

A plate of stars
Could never take the place of the
Boy who swore to catch me
As I run through the rye

I know it`s been quite a long time since I
Sang a hym without guilt in my eyes
And I know he truly wouldn`t care
`Cause if you really tried, he`d save a place for you there

My weary heart
Is looking, restless
Not for a pardon
But just one promise

All the faith that one can deserve, it`s
Enough to wonder why you punish your girls
Sure he`s facing you now, and not the wall, but isn`t that
Better than facing nothing at all?
