THRICE - YELLOW BELLY You were built for blessing, But you only make them bleed, You don’t care, you don’t care And bruises are but shadows Of the blackness that you breed, But you don’t care, you don’t care The light that's left inside their eyes is darkened day by day But you don’t care, you don’t care Your presence pulls the color From the world til all is grey But you don’t care, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t. You're less than half a man Yellow belly and crimson hands You’re the ones that reap your reckoning, Maybe then you’ll understand Hands were made to comfort But they only conjure fear But you don’t care, you don’t care She’s in the closet, praying “Lord, please get me out of here” You don’t care, you don’t you don’t you don’t You're less than half a man Yellow belly and crimson hands You’re the ones that reap your reckoning, Maybe then you’ll understand What mercy have they known, From you, from you To ask that it be shown, To you, to you What mercy have they known, From you, from you To ask that it be shown, To you, to you I read somewhere Dustin mentioning the lyrical themes that were going to be on this record (specifically) and they were definitely along the lines of abuse, marriage, personal and inner struggles that everyone is mentioning here. I know that is not far from being typical for Thrice lyrics. However, I think all would agree that Dustin's ability to convey such unique and deep emotions and ideas is a beautiful and poetic endeavor hardly achieved by artists today. Thrice is a different caliber of a band altogether. From their lyrics, to their music, and from album to album. There is an interview online, and I can give the link to it if anyone wants it, where Dustin mentions his approach to music and lyrics (as it pertains to his beliefs as well). He says that he writes in a way where people can kinda see two meanings behind the lyrics. For those who fall more in line with his "personal" beliefs they might interpret this way, and those who don't might interpret another way. He says his focus is to try to create the best music he can and let God do what he wills with it. His honesty is humbling. - Much Love! |

| Dustin isn't Catholic and there are plenty of Protestant denominations that place a high importance on communion. | |

| Ever notice how Dustin doesn't have a wedding ring, but a tattoo where most others would be wearing one. :) So as long as he lives, he will bear the wieght of the ring, the symbol of the "covenant" of marriage! | |
