The Only Thing

The only thing that keeps me from driving this car Half-light, jack knife into the canyon at night Signs and wonders: Perseus aligned with the skull Slain Medusa, Pegasus alight from us all [Chorus 1] Do I care if I survive this? Bury the dead where they’re found In a veil of great surprises; I wonder, did you love me at all? [Verse 2] The only thing that keeps me from cutting my arm Cross hatch, warm bath, Holiday Inn after dark Signs and wonders: water stain riding the wall Daniel’s message: blood of the moon on us all [Chorus 2] Do I care if I despise this? Nothing else matters, I know In a veil of great disguises; how do I live with your ghost? [Hook] Should I tear my eyes out now? Everything I see returns to you, somehow Should I tear my heart out now? Everything I feel returns to you, somehow I want to save you from your sorrow [Verse 3] The only reason why I continue at all Faith in reason, I wasted my life playing dumb Signs and wonders: sea lion caves in the dark Blind faith, God’s grace, nothing else left to impart [Chorus 1] Do I care if I survive this? Bury the dead where they’re found In a veil of great surprises; hold to my head till I drown Should I tear my eyes out now, before I see too much? Should I tear my arms out now? I wanna feel your touch [Hook] Should I tear my eyes out now? Everything I see returns to you, somehow Should I tear my heart out now? Everything I feel returns to you, somehow
