yeah terror was your first name
hiding in the closet of my parents room
and father stalked the empty halls
said if he couldn’t, you would find me soon
and i’d lie awake upon my bed
i’d quiver and i’d shake
the whole night through
the whole night through
i thought if i’d die in my sleep
coins on my eyes
would lead my heart to you
my heart to you
and i would stay home sick from school
call myself the holiest fool
and i would stay home sick from school
feeling like the holiest fool
yeah silence was your second name
the language of my mothers tears
and mercy is the strangest word
i wonder if it means all that much to you
yeah i’d lie awake upon my bed
painted halos over my head
they’d shine so bright
they’d shined so bright
i thought if i’d die in my sleep
coins on my eyes
would lead my heart to you
my heart to you
and i would stay home sick from school
dressed like the holiest fool
and i would stay home sick from school
wishin i was the holiest fool
