Temple by The Brave Optimistic Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They told me my whole life
There was a god shaped hole
And now I know there's not
But I still feel like a bleeding fool
[Chorus 1]
In my heart
[Verse 2]
They taught me not play
All sorts of naked games
Said it would cause me pain
And nothing else
Yeah, they were right 'bout that
Because they made it so
Two minutes tunneling
Into that festering hole
[Chorus 2]
In my heart
[Verse 3]
They locked my friends away
They say it's for the best
He smoked a little grass
He must atone
I know another friend
Still free as birds of flight
His dealer ran all out
Of potions safe to try
[Chorus 3]
For his heart
[Verse 4]
His veins got thicker with
Each dose of medicine
He couldn't share his pain
The heavy weight of sin
[Chorus 4]
In his heart
[Outro]
There will stay a god shaped hole
As long as they still keep that muck and filth around
By sending heavy hearts into the underground
The great society of old
Will still be there to promise if the poor abound
Send the Haitians, tweakers, homos, bleeders as a sacrifice into the underground
They told me my whole life
There was a god shaped hole
And now I know there's not
But I still feel like a bleeding fool
[Chorus 1]
In my heart
[Verse 2]
They taught me not play
All sorts of naked games
Said it would cause me pain
And nothing else
Yeah, they were right 'bout that
Because they made it so
Two minutes tunneling
Into that festering hole
[Chorus 2]
In my heart
[Verse 3]
They locked my friends away
They say it's for the best
He smoked a little grass
He must atone
I know another friend
Still free as birds of flight
His dealer ran all out
Of potions safe to try
[Chorus 3]
For his heart
[Verse 4]
His veins got thicker with
Each dose of medicine
He couldn't share his pain
The heavy weight of sin
[Chorus 4]
In his heart
[Outro]
There will stay a god shaped hole
As long as they still keep that muck and filth around
By sending heavy hearts into the underground
The great society of old
Will still be there to promise if the poor abound
Send the Haitians, tweakers, homos, bleeders as a sacrifice into the underground
