follow the black marks on the floor
Am
fallen through the bathroom door
G F
on his face, that's how it finds you

you built an alter of books and melting wax

sackcloth and his panic attacks

smears his eyes with the candle ash

and oh, does God have a sound?

like a family laughing loud?

or a garden gate opening to

a world you never found.

but not everything's a metaphor

you know somethings just are

like the way she slams her bedroom door

that doesn't mean a thing

he tied a dirty towel around his waist
Am
washes his feet with the tears from his face

aint it a shame, that's how you find him?

in the darkest closet behind the veil
Am
in his sweet and haunted hour of prayer
G F
his hands and feet claw the air

and oh, does God have a sound?
Am
like a little girl crying out

from the attic of her house

where she hid herself for days

but everything's a metaphor

to blood stained over the door

to the bread crumbs on the floor
G
everything means something.
