lyrics

I thought you were lying when you said you can't love me,

you could see right through me when I said I didn't care

"Raison D'Etre, my friend, there's no bad time to repent"

Can I kiss your hand before I go home?

"Raison D'Etre" She said "the pursuit of heaven doesn't rest"

Why does your book say you can't love me?

I don't think I understand, try again to explain I plead

I don't think I understand but I'll still get on my hands and knees

We can burn it into my psyche, but the more you talk the less I'm sure

You say what girls can do with their bodies is governed by men with jealousy rationalized

How many souls must you save to fill your rewards card today?

The prize is an anklet that saves you from the rapture

"Raison D'Etre" you say "don't think, just have faith"

Why do I feel ashamed all the time?

I don't think I understand, try again to explain I plead

I don't think I understand but I'll still get on my hands and knees

I will sit and listen baby, I can watch you talk all night

I spit it through jagged teeth, I swear that I believe

I spit it through jagged teeth, I swear that I believe
