If Jesus smoked a cigarette
And put it out here on my chest
Would you see?
Would you see?
If I wrapped my arms around your neck
And drew you to my bloody breast
Then you’d see.
You know what you’d see?
You’d be gazing in my Lord’s scars with me

My girl’s a fiction writer
Yeah, she can really spin a tale
To her, the truth don’t matter
Got tangled up in details
Those big gray eyes
A sea of misery
Our friends say she’s missing me
But these days you can’t believe what you read
Oh hope, come back to me
I was a fiction writer
A closed door with no key
No horizon, dim future
It didn’t matter to me
Tears in my eyes
I see, a blurry vision of what we could be
I’m unsure of so many things
But you and me is what I can see
Oh hope, come back to me

I hope you're missing me on Christmas
when your mom says something terrible
excuse yourself from the table
might not be okay after all
Saw a picture of your reading
you're taking time so you must be sick
I know the chapter where you'll have to
remember me while you're reading it
Let's walk to the woods
a place I'd never go with you
I'd hold your hand if I could
because your fingers, they're blue
I'm so sorry for what she says to you
you're kind of cold but you're not a bitch
Apologize for what I put you through, it's true
I can be kind of a dick

Never thought about you dead
As memory serves
We’re pulling each other
In and out of holes
We’re goddamn animals
We’re brothers
A.K. read it in The Times
An interview with Selma Blair
and we both sighed
At the hottest woman alive
But everything beautiful dies
Even brothers
Swore I’d never pray again
Empty words hanging from the ceiling
But here I am walking on my knees
Begging hope to cure a disease
Oh god, our mother
Oh god, our mother
Oh god, our mother
