Fingers Crossed

let’s not meet for a drink
unless you come to take an oath
and brother, please don’t pray for me
unless you pray for us both

just because i fucked up
doesn’t make me a cross
on which you can hang your sin
and expect to be forgiven

oh, i don’t wish this on you
please don’t hear that i do
a caution tale, living proof
that what’s in the mail will always find you

so don’t plant mines under feet
and don’t believe everything you read
from ancient books to enemies
the devil, too, deserves some boundaries

what if there is no sin, there’s no cross
there’s no them, there is no us
there’s just you, and what you do
and how you pay for what you choose

with fingers crossed, fingers crossed
so much lost with fingers crossed
a plea for help, a double-cross
the void beheld with fingers crossed
