God For Rent

You crawled across the ice of my eyes
You fell into my dream and drowned in light
All night, you floated through my head
I heard your voice in all I said:

There's no way out
There's no way
No reprieve, no way to leave
Nowhere to turn

Gave it more than I could give,
And I know my smile was just a pearly cage I hid within
See the muses get old and retire
As my hopes had turned to wounds, I knew:
My god for rent, she resigned

Locked inside my painted shell,
I felt the jagged edge of my cell, myself

There's no way out
There's no way
No reprieve, no way to leave
Nowhere to turn

Gave it more than I could give,
And I know my smile was just a pearly cage I hid within
See the muses get old and retire
As my hopes had turned to wounds, I knew:
My god for rent, she resigned

Gave it more than I could give,

See the muses get old and retire
As my hopes had turned to wounds, I said:
My God,
There's less to me than you think
And I know my smile was just a pearly cage I hid within
See the muses get old and retire
As my hopes had turned to wounds, I knew:
My god for rent, she resigned.
