I'm not absolutely convinced about these lyrics and I welcome suggestions to work them out, but this is what I hear:
Reaching for us (or "Reach in for us")
Begging my father’s brotherhood (or "They keep my father's brotherhood")
Spill out your breath into the furnace again
And I think I’ve found a better way to live
And I think I’ve found a better way to die
And I’ve been fitting myself into that small space
That you set out for
This green and yellow ink (I am most unsure of this line, but it is sung more clearly near the end)
And how it always burns my skin
Sorting through it
I never saw something so clear
As your hands bound up in prayer behind the front door (I can't quite make out the last word)
And I thought I walked a better road alone
’Til I found my feet set into stone
And that’s when I turned back
(Two lines during the bridge are buried too deep in the mix for me to decipher)
And I’ve been fitting myself into that small, small space
That you set out for
This green and yellow ink
And it always burns my skin
