lyrics

i know you'll always be here by my side
from the truth i keep trying to hide
while the ashes are falling outside
you're my shelter through terror and tide
from the fear that would swallow my mind
and the whole world along for the ride

i'm way too young
to feel this old
but i see the world in purple and gold
it's what i was born into not what i choose
but you hold the line while i'm paying my dues
with my catholic blues

god only knows how much money i spent
trying to give up my conscience for lent
got no clue as to which way it went
or how many times i've had to bend
it might all even out in the end
no one answers the prayers that i send

the fire inside
it's all that i know
i burned all my bridges i've no where to go
for all of my lies and all of my loss
i'm having too good a time up on my cross

i know you'll always be here by my side
from the truth i keep trying to hide
while the ashes are falling outside
you're my shelter through terror and tide
from the fear that would swallow my mind
and the whole world along for the ride

i'm glad you're along for the ride
