painted saints - i am no match for greater minds lyrics

Loading...

seven miles split
up the middle, sew the seam a little cleaner
than the vivian girls did
stitches all unfolding and the belly will breathe open bursting
into the fields
the soldiers fell in grass that wasn’t even high enough to keep
their shoulders slung below the lines
where bullets fly and paper birds are busy singing miseries

eye were held high
marching in step
canvas grass fields
are wide enough to see
through billows of smoke and powder debris
the other charge was lining up along the river
shining up their b+ttons and brass
our drums are busy beating rattlesnakes to keep our lady free and southernly
b+st+rds of the north elevate their bayonets and
brandish jagged cutlery to set our courage

running like ink
wet on paper
orders came so we
charged into the fray

i am no match
for greater minds
i am no match
for greater minds

scissors and solitude
child head whiplash
feeble minded they say
these catholic ways of
charity
are lost in silent
sweeping of floors
continents of ink and traced beauty
many lives were lost that day
in service of our seven sisters child headed whiplash
victory depends on
watercolor blood spilled on page after page
dusty windowsills tell the tale that will never see the light of day

i am no match
for greater minds
i am no match
for greater minds
i am no match
for greater minds
