holy water

Bottled empty space, the liquid only waits
For lips to kiss the taste, reveal the chase
Too scared of noises bodies make
When alone they only stand to break
In search of soiled earth to shake, and fall in place

We all taste the same, like holy water
We all look the same, like holy water
We all shine the same, like holy water
We all burn the same, like holy water

Fingers pricked to feed, give life new seeds
You can give but do not take, you're a past mistake
When the future washes bodies clean
The engines purr, the cogs they heave
In a machine that can't break, no parts to replace

We all taste the same, like holy water
We all look the same, like holy water
We all shine the same, like holy water
We all burn the same, like holy water

With hands that can't see, we dot our eyes
Make crosses of our stick figure t's, evil get behind
With a mind too scared to lose control
We clench fists tight and won't let go
With a toothless face, we smile wide

We all taste the same, like holy water
We all look the same, like holy water
We all shine the same, like holy water
We all burn the same, like holy water
