catholic knees

dusting off the old life from my catholic knees, i scraped them up good, i scraped them up good, you doctored them clean, oh yes, we are patient, patients, salt-licked wounds merely bruised, none of that'll matter soon, on some ancient day, see how much you can take, none of that'll matter, none of that'll matter soon, everything was moving so fast, everything was moving so fast, before my hands had the chance to grow old, i was told, 'good enough's as good as it's gonna get', 'yeah good enough's as good as you'll ever get', s-s-said i, i made a conscious decision, shake the skin i was stuck in and stretched my bones, believe in nothing, i can't quite seem to catch my breath, that none of that'll matter soon, none of that'll matter soon, lord, please keep my feet flat on the ground, everything was moving so fast, everything was moving so fast, but that's where you came in, yeah, here we are, yeah, here i am, that's where you came in, now, here we are, lord, please keep my feet flat on the ground, lord, keep my feet flat on the ground, everything was moving so fast, everything was moving so fast,
