Lyrics Emilie Autumn

Emilie Autumn

Second Hand Faith

I'll take my hope where I can find it

Seems I find it here in you

Hang your curtain get behind it

I won't even ask for proof

Go ahead and read my fortune

Cast your dice devine my fate

I just want to know I have one

Tell me that it's not too late for

A little second hand faith

A line upon my palm that I can just erase

'Cause I need to believe in a hierarchic grace

I can do without a book I'll never read

Second hand faith is all I need

I will pay you for your trouble

I will pay you for your Time

Steal my wallet charge me double

All I've come for is a sign

Is there someone who can help me

Up above the clouds I see

Sitting in a Chinese restaurant

Someone comes to offer me

'Cause this feeling of forgiveness means much more to me

Than that paper on the wall that cost you all of ten bucks

If an ancient word, a heathen spell can salvage me

I will believe in miracles 'cause it would take a saint to set me free

And if my luck don't last too long

Or if my life gets worse

I'll be back for another song

A blessing or a curse

And I'll never ask for refunds

'Cause I know you're not to blame

Take more blood more hair more money

I'll do anything to claim

What somebody threw away

May just get me through the day

I can do without a book I'll never read

Second hand faith is all I need

Second hand faith is all I need
