Body And Blood Lyrics

[Chorus]
My body and blood, Lord
My soul and my skin
I'm not sure what they're there for
But I know where they've been

[Verse 1]
I'm waking up with bruises I don't recognize
I think I died last night
And in a strange twist of fate
I woke up in the same tired state as I do every day
I don't know why I still drink
I think I'm starting to outgrow regretting things that I can barely remember
But one way or another, I can't seem to put this sacrifice to rest

[Chorus]
My body and blood, Lord
My soul and my skin
I'm not sure what they're there for
But I know where they've been
And I know what these eyes have seen is easily forgotten
And every day goes by
And everything dies eventually
But nothing happens to the ghost

[Verse 2]
I woke up in the strangest place
I've got no coat and it's cold but I walk home
Retracing faces and footprints that followed me to your bed
I'd like to stay but I run instead
I left no number, no proof that I exist
Not that you'll need it
You could see the signs of trouble on my skin
I woke up shaking like I always do
And I just know I'm gonna scare you away

[Chorus]
My body and blood, Lord
My soul and my skin
I'm not sure what they're there for
But I know where they've been
And I know what these eyes have seen is easily forgotten
And every day goes by
And everything dies eventually But nothing happens to the ghost

[Bridge]
Holy ghost
You still haunt the vacant halls in my bones
It's not that I need you
I just don't have time to move on
Will fear of God send me to heaven
Or am I gonna need something more?
'Cause I've been terrified from the beginning
I just want to know what I should prepare for
But the bible hasn't given me comfort
I was baptized on a bedroom floor
Where I was touched by something other than angels
And I just can't forget anymore
Will fear of God send me to heaven
Or am I gonna need something more?
'Cause I've been terrified from the beginning
I just want to know what I should prepare for
But the bible hasn't given me comfort
I was baptized on a bedroom floor
Where I taught myself this feeling was my fault
And I don't want to feel the shame anymore

[Chorus]
My body and blood, Lord
(My body and blood)
My soul and my skin
(My soul and my skin)
I'm not sure what they're there for
(There's still blood on my hands)
But I know where they've been
(I'm still counting these sins)
And I know what these eyes have seen is easily forgotten
(My body and blood)
And every day goes by
(My soul and my skin)
And everything dies eventually
(I'm not scared of the ghosts)
But nothing happens to the ghost
('Cause I know where they've been
I know where they've been)
