The Lamb
Dessa

You came up from anesthesia like a diver out of air

surprised to be alive, and startled I was there

it's been a long time

and I've got no axe to grind with you

but goddammit, man this hatchet

won't stay burried without some sign from you

(sign from you, sign, sign)

I don't quite come in peace

but times like these ask us

to set aside old grudges

duty calls, I head

but I don't love it

the night nurse leaves

just you and me

you give a look

could freeze gasoline

I don't believe that you're reformed

or you're redeemed

Chorus:

And if they ask me

I'll deny it

but I remember

what you did

while its true you were a young man then

I was just a kid

One of was lying

both of us half-damned

one of us the lion

and one the lamb

you've got a way with words

you got away with murder

but now our roles reverse

and your table's turning now

Too weak

to lift a spoon i fed you

shaved you when your hands were shaking

dosed you like they told me, never more

lord, the demands you're making

help the monster on two feet

walk him down the hall, repeat

and when he's strong enough to stand alone

you'll notice what big teeth

But blood is blood

and what's done is done

Yeah, blood is blood

and its burden is a beast

You lie expressionless

face set like the Old Testament

silence always your best defense

I bet you guess I came to settle debts

They tell me you'll get better

I don't know what to say

'cause they could sew your hands together

but they can't make you pray

Chorus

But now you're careful, now you're good

but do I scare you like I should?

Now you're careful, now you're good

but I still scare you and I should

You've got a way with words

You got away with murder

But now our roles re

and your table's turning now
