Mount Moriah Telling The Hour
Oh, be still, oh, be quiet
Let the sun fade into night
No sounds, no light
Like flies in a jar
We are mostly harmless
Give me whiskey, give me wine
And an unfaithful sky
Give me scars so dark
I will have no choice
But to remember
Punish me
With the cruelest summer
And let regret swell inside
Let it strike, let it strike my body fast
Like a cobra, let it take over
It will be quicker than any movements
Our bodies could offer
Punish me
With the cruelest summer
Terrify me with silence
Make me desperate
Let me wake alone
Make me cry rivers
You can rest your head at night
Knowing I deserved it
Like flies in a jar
I am mostly harmless
Except for this vanishing hour
Of darkness
