I stop to look as I ink this page

Turn it slowly towards your hands

Hardly turning on the wood grain

I slide the letter across its face

I stop to look as I turn to stone

Look back now, see for yourself

Burn my eyes, teach me to think

I’ve never practiced what I preached

Burn this A into my chest

And I’m sure I will stand but you will fall

You will fall like a stone in the walls

The walls of Jericho

Look at me, look in my eyes

Is this the sinner you left alone?

Of course I won’t take this to heart

It’s not like you left me over the phone

I stop to look as I turn to stone

Look back now, see for yourself

Burn my eyes, teach me to think

I’ll never practice what I preach

Burn this A into my chest

And I’m sure I will stand but you will fall

You will fall like a stone in the walls

The walls of Jericho

This kiss of death, in ecstasy

Ignites my fatal fantasy

I just can’t face reality

I won’t admit my fallacy

Jericho, you’re caving in

Giving way to gravity
