lyrics

In a quiet place
As a sacrificial animal
And I hope to god
My commitment's not intractable
I'm feeling delicate
At the face of the all-powerful
I'd try to make it stop
But right now I feel so distractible

The way out
Is back in
The way out
Is back in

Another violent dream
It's become a nightly ritual
From by bed to the kitchen
Where the honey's gone, the milk is spoiled
I'm feeling impotent
Disgusted but insatiable
And I want it to stop
But I fear that I'm incapable

The way out
Is back in
The way out
Is back in

Maybe I feel betrayed
By the holy and the profane
Both will burn me out either way
Sunrise, sunset

In a familiar place
I am offered like an animal
And I want it to stop
I think that's understandable
