lyrics

The First Sin

It wasn’t hard to tell the first lie
and then the second one
once I started telling stories
they just fell off my tongue
I knew I was hurting someone
I blocked it from my mind
kept their faces hidden
it was a cruel and lawless time

name me
speak my name beneath the streets
carve it on my skin, carve it on my skin,
carve it on my skin,
like the first sin

I go by many names
sometimes I go by none
hiding in the corner booth
waiting for someone
underneath the dusty light
the shadows move and shake
trying to hold the future
in a hand that will not break

name me
speak my name beneath the streets
carve it on my skin, carve it on my skin,
carve it on my skin,
like the first sin

I became the ghost
that every soldier knew
floating through the rubble
like a vision, right on cue
like the virgin Mary
madonna with a child
a mirage that keeps you running
But never satisfies.

name me
speak my name beneath the streets
carve it on my skin, carve it on my skin,
carve it on my skin,
like the first sin
