Q&A
Opened and Spent Lyrics
The air was all dust, the night so untamed
The ground opened up and swallowed all of the rain
It swallowed you too into greatness unknown
They sat down at dinner and waited for you to get home
They set a place for you so don't believe everything
That you read in that diary of yours
And this nervousness isn't all your fault
These shaky hands won't do what I want them to
And I tried to guess what it is you thought
About the lack of compassion that breathes
Through the holes in my skin
What are you crying for?
Just dust my heart and you will find no fingers printed there
The untouched place that lies inside of every lonely boy tonight
And this opened air has caused me to choke
On your newfound hope in me
The ground opened up and swallowed all of the rain
It swallowed you too into greatness unknown
They sat down at dinner and waited for you to get home
They set a place for you so don't believe everything
That you read in that diary of yours
These shaky hands won't do what I want them to
And I tried to guess what it is you thought
About the lack of compassion that breathes
Through the holes in my skin
Just dust my heart and you will find no fingers printed there
The untouched place that lies inside of every lonely boy tonight
On your newfound hope in me
