The Only Thing I Know

Jesus Christ,

Was that my tongue or a knife?

The Things I say, Leave me ashamed

My skin burns from the flames

I’ve got gasoline in my veins

I’ve got the sun at my back

The world in my sights

So strike up the band

I’ll put the flames out with my own hands

For you

Go on, go on, go on,

Take all of me

Don’t let this be the only thing I know

Don’t ever let go

Oh don’t ever let go

Ashes fall from your lips

And I’m counting the ways, the counterfeit

And if I know your disguise, well it used to be mine

I’ll carry you through this burning land

And when the water’s gone

We’ll drink the sand

You know I’ve got nothing left

For the journey home

And I’ve run out of gods to burn

So this fever will return

For you

Go on, go on, go on,

Take all of me

Don’t let this be the only thing I know

Don’t ever let go

No, don’t ever let go

Oh, don’t ever let go

This distance run

This smoking gun

There’s failure in your eyes

Things fall apart this stone I carved

Has fallen to the floor

Still so easily ignored

Still so easily ignored

Still so easily ignored

This is all of me

This is all of me

This is all of me

This is all of me
