You're missing the signs Because it's not what you're looking for Faith is no bargain Cheaply bought off of trickster hands The way of the shark Is a middle way And the end of the road Is a sharp mouth of knives That thirsts for the clenching Yeah it thirsts for the clenching Everything I need Everything I touch Turns to quicksand The harder I try, I try so hard It slips right through my fingers Belief is a virtue Which no conjurer Can fable for idle ears The path of the unfailing is a lion's den For the simple-hearted In the end It is the gap of the serpent That burrows in the deep Yeah it burrows in the deep Everything I need Everything I touch Turns to quicksand The harder I try, I try so hard It slips right through my fingers I am the awaited burst With the sun in my back Burning your wounds And igniting mine I am wine to your water No matter how much You pour the dilution It won't whitewash my wrong My wrong The harder I try, I try so hard Everything I need Everything I touch Turns to quicksand The harder I try, I try so hard It slips right through my fingers
