Listen to Sugar In The Sacrament

Live at the Starland Ballroom

Live at reunion show

Lyrics:

What have you done?You follow footsteps in the darkand found your faithleft out behind your father's car.

You said, "there's no one watching over me or over you, it's always out of reach..."I'm sinking still right into:

Oh my god where are you now?Fractured lives dissolvingLike sugar in the sacrament

If it was just one nightThen we would be releasedTie these lies between our teethKeep tearing open bodies'Let it bleed'Tonight

Where have you gone?Off with the friends you couldn't keepYou mother's armsFill up with all the empty needsSo the saints line up to bring her in,Comfort her and it's always comfortingWhen they start to sing,the same old:

'Holy holy, lift up your dressFeel your body dissolvingLike sugar in the sacrament'

"If it was just one nightThen you could be redeemedTie these sins between your teeth,Make hollow promises we'll never keep tonight."

This is all we've ever known of God.Fight with me let me touch you now.
