Album: My Shame Is True (2013)

The Temptation Of St. Anthony

My tender carrion.
The damage has been done,
From the depths of your heart,
To the tip of my tongue.
Not a word you can say,
Can erase memories of that night.
That awful night.

It hides behind your eyes,
I can feel it in my bones.
It's come to tenderize us all,
Tonight with sticks and stones.

St. Anthony,
This agony,
It's eating at my soul.
Much like nothing this world has ever known.
(Known)

I found a hiding place,
Not far from here.
They'll never find a trace,
of you and I my dear.
In a world far away,
We'd pass out from the pain.
But not here,
We feel it loud and clear.

It hides behind your eyes,
I can feel it in my bones.
It's come to tenderize us all,
Tonight with sticks and stones.

St. Anthony,
This agony,
It's eating at my soul.
Much like nothing this world has ever known.
Nothing this world has ever known.
(Known)

It's over now until it happens again,
You haven't lived until you've seen suffering like this.
It's over now until it happens again,
You haven't lived until you've seen suffering like this.
(like this)
You haven't lived until you've seen suffering like...

It hides behind your eyes,
I can feel it in my bones.
It's come to tenderize us all,
Tonight with sticks and stones.

St. Anthony,
This agony,
It's eating at my soul.
Much like nothing this world has ever known.
(Nothing this world has ever known.)
Nothing this world has ever known.
