The Only Thing

Lyrics

The only thing that keeps me from driving this car
 Half-light, jack knife into the canyon at night
 Signs and wonders, Perseus aligned with the skull
 Slain Medusa, Pegasus alight from us all
 Do I care if I survive this?
 Bury the dead where they're found
 In a veil of great surprises
 I wonder, did you love me at all?
 The only thing that keeps me from cutting my arm
 Cross hatch, warm bath, Holiday Inn after dark
 Signs and wonders, water stain writing the wall
 Daniel's message, blood of the moon on us all
 Do I care if I despise this?
 Nothing else matters, I know
 In a veil of great disguises
 How do I live with your ghost?
 Should I tear my eyes out now?
 Everything I see returns to you, somehow
 Should I tear my heart out now?
 Everything I feel returns to you, somehow
 I wanna save you from your sorrow
 ♪
 The only reason why I continue at all
 Faith in reason, I wasted my life playing dumb
 Signs and wonders, sea lion caves in the dark
 Blind faith, God's grace, nothing else left to impart
 Do I care if I survive this?
 Bury the dead where they're found
 In a veil of great surprises
 Hold my head till I drown
 Should I tear my eyes out now?
 Before I see too much
 Should I tear my arms out now?
 I want to feel your touch
 Should I tear my eyes out now?
 Everything I see returns to you, somehow
 Should I tear my heart out now?
 Everything I feel returns to you, somehow
