erin mckeown - litany for a minor character lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
for you who never lied to me
for you who began with buyer beware to me
lord hear our prayer

[verse 2]
for you my conspirator
you who only you knew my nom de guerre
call me by my secret cares
lord hear our prayer

[verse 3]
for the pair of us, walking, arms twist tight
seaside nights in that g+y town square
for you who broke my heart before i was aware
i swear
but there you were so rare
with your blue eyes and blonde hair
lord hear our prayer

[verse 4]
for before second best was too much to bear
rearranging deck chairs on that sinking bedstead
for when i was finally awake did i dare
lord hear our prayer
[verse 5]
for the blankness of your stare
for how i couldn’t get beneath some layer
scared me sh+tless that i could care this much
lord hear our prayer

[verse 6]
for all that millionaire solitaire laissez fair
this price of repair
for all the writers who f+cked me
thinking they’d write something they’d get lucky
for me, the first to strike, now does it feel fair?
lord hear our prayer

[verse 7]
for the world is a wheel
for the wheel is a world
a wheel in a world in the middle of the air
lord hear our prayer

[verse 8]
for all this mess this blessing will you grant us
for all this struggle
all this
for someone so brief a narrator
mercy for that minor character
[outro]
lord i send this prayer
lord i send this prayer
lord i send this prayer
lord hear our prayer
