Clergy Lyrics

Half an inch away
Speak before the sweat is even noticed
Such a bitter taste
I sat.. the words I just can't comprehend
Ink the scriptures to my feet
The bruising swells and apathy
Sit so still with skeptic limbs..
Penetrate these fangs to fill this bile with naivety
Sip and tap a taste of my disease

And they're dragging you

Sacrament has stained
my appetite for ceremony crisis
a narrow taste for faith..
depends on all the staleness that has formed you
stitch the sins to my gums and teeth
a midnight mess of surgery
speak so soft with hectic grins
face of veil that separates
what guilt won't die when you're born again
open aisle awaits for my two needs

And they're dragging you
And they're dragging you
And they're dragging you
And they're dragging you

Hands are tied to clergy's lies and they're dragging you…
Hands are tied to clergy's lies and they're dragging you…
Hands are tied to clergy's lies and they're dragging you…
Hands are tied to clergy's lies and they're dragging you…
Hands are tied to clergy's lies and they're dragging you…

I think it's "Penetrate these fangs to fill this bile with naivety Sip and tap a taste of my disease And they're dragging you"

and "face the veil that separates where guilt won't die and is born again open aisle awaits for my two knees" - like kneeling in front of the cross

and then "hands are tied to the clergy's lies, and they're dragging you"

"I sat.. the words I just can't comprehend" - refers to the bible, he can't make sense of it and come up with a sermon

i have the lyric zine, so it should be this:

"Half an inch away Speak before the sweat is even noticed Such a bitter taste Recite the words I just can't comprehend Ink the scriptures to my feet The bruising swells in apathy Sit so still with skeptic limbs Penetrate these veins to fill this vile with naivety Sip and have a taste of my disease

And they're dragging you

Sacrament has stained My appetite for ceremony crisis A narrow taste for faith Dependent on the staleness that has formed you Stitch the sins to my gums and teeth A midnight mass of surgery Speak so soft with hectic grins Face of veil that separates Where guilt will die and is born again Open aisle awaits for my two knees"

and you've obviously got the rest right. :]

actually. the second part is "Deface the veil that separates where guilt wont die and is born again."

Do you know who sings this song ? Because i'm pretty sure it isn't Ryan, the voice is too high and clear.
