lyrics

we drink the blood on saturdays
from paper cuts found in alleyways
where you say things, you should not say
on bended knee, under stained glass window panes
the reverend installed himself
now you’re wondering how your father felt
when he drove away just to save himself
and your mother cried over 20 dollar bills

so you
so you
so you
could tell the truth

and pretty girls don’t call you back
they wanted you to just relax
so you sing songs that will not last
on borrowed hope you can not give back
and lightning strikes, but not for long
the joy you had was all but gone
to pretty places you don’t belong
you start to cry, but instead you carry on

so you
so you
so you
could tell the truth

and i’m keeping secrets so i don’t let you down
i’m keeping secrets so i don’t let you down
and i fall to pieces while you burn down this house
and i’m keeping secrets so i don’t let you down

Young Elk is Ezekiel J Rudick, Tony Reyes, Bruce Reed, and Nic Moen
