[Intro]
"Then(?) soldiers half-dead from inadequate footwear went back to training, because who wants to fight a war where everyone wins? So she left a trail of tears across the Southwest and across my chest and she painted her face and hanging garden green, ripped her eyes over and over, until only one horse was left."
[Verse 1]
I cannot force the word
Collected heap to smell
I'm living what you had heard
I live the lie that you tell
The truth is best to leave alone
Insipid and cut
Look how we've grown
Touch me across a modern tongue
A change a pain under my thumb
[Chorus]
See how I've been profaned
See now the lover stained
Sea of bounty holds
See me bought and sold
[Verse 2]
A shadowed mystery
I know it's better than that
But never white and sent
And rather not intact
[Bridge]
Take a breath
Take a breath
When you're falling out of anger
Take a breath
Take a breath
Take a breath
When the danger is ahead
Take a breath
(x4)
[Chorus]
See how I've been profaned
See now the lover stained
Sea of bounty holds
See me bought and sold
See how I've been profaned
See now the lover stained
Sea of bounty holds
See me bought and sold
