John The 23rd Lyrics - Sarah Slean - Sarah Slean

Inside a heart 

Of freezing boys 

Searching for the answer 

In a shiney dime 

Who beg for sleep 

And piece of mind 

Why must the aging page 

Decide? 

Me and John the 23rd have 

Tasted these sour words and I 

Just can't shake this belief that it's not a 

Test of devotion or something you read

From the dawn of time 

They taught her why 

Not to ask those questions 

And never cry 

A plate of stars 

Could never take the place of the 

Boy who swore to catch me 

As I run through the rye 

I know it's been quite a long time since I 

Sang a hym without guilt in my eyes 

And I know he truly wouldn't care 

'Cause if you really tried, he'd save a place for you there 

My weary heart 

Is looking, restless 

Not for a pardon 

But just one promise 

Photos 

All the faith that one can deserve, it's 

Enough to wonder why you punish your girls 

Sure he's facing you now, and not the wall, but isn't that 

Better than facing nothing at all?
