lyrics

they closed the church
they always do
nervous our burning bush would consume
the crooked cross and empty pews
another lost altar our god could use

but nothing pure can stay these days

it's a drug we abuse
a fraying noose that we're all addicts to
a type of truth that won't raise roofs
so light the fuse, play the tune before we lose

nothing pure can stay these days

it's so hard to see things as they are
it's so hard to lose
