Cover art for His Devotee lyrics by Polar Bear Club

these are from the cd jacket. i'd imagine the original post is just misheard lyrics

You have a way with light You make it long for you Soldier, and his devotee The saddest light I've ever seen

You have a way with silence Beneith your pillow it lays, cheap Sqeezing the worn leather handle A smile finds you at midnight, You mouth sweet familiarity

Not me, this time You forget what's mightier than swords I hold the ace And when it shows I'm killing you with words

You have an eye for the ill-fated In the mirror you learned To keep stabbing, keep crying Keep turning stars into memorys Until the souls of sinners burn

Don't look, it's me As bright as the whitest light can be My world, My rules One swift erase away from an amputee Swift erase away.... Swift erase away....

My world, my rules My world, my rules My world My world, my rules

You have a way with light (You have a way with light) You make it long for you (You make it long for you) Soldier, and his devotee The saddest light I've ever seen
