“Deeper Devastation”
Artist: Jesca Hoop
Album: The House That Jack Built
I don’t trust anyone
Not you
And the closer you come
Deeper devastation
I’m a baby bird
I’m a hungry bird
And I feed from your gut
And the wind blows
And the tree shakes
And your beak stabs my throat
Under the power of
Our one and only sun
There’s a kink in the pattern
Do you do the right thing
There’s a hole in the fabric
Do you do the right thing
You cannot trust a human being to do the right thing
Do the right
Under the power of
Our one and only sun
And there once was a time
With you
But it turned on a dime
And tales call the decision
I’m a lover wild
I’m a loyal child
And I’ve burned your eyes on mine
When the bones collide
And the rocks catch fire
And your greed swallows me whole
Under the power of
Our one and only sun
There’s a kink in the pattern
Do you do the right thing
There’s a hole in the fabric
Do you do the right thing
You cannot trust a human being to do the right thing
Do the right
Under the power of
Our one and only
Under the power of
Our one and only
Under the power of
Our one and only sun
I’m a bleeding heart
I’m a hiding heart
And I can bleed and hide and still love
When the truth’s blown wide
And my faith’s capsized
I drift in loss and sorrow
Under the power of
Our one and only
Under the power of
Our one and only
Under the power of
Our one and only sun
There’s a kink in the pattern
Do you do the right thing
There’s a hole in the fabric
Do you do the right thing
And it is all in the planning
Do you do the right thing
You cannot trust a human being to do the right thing
Do the right
Under the power of
Our one and only
Under the power of
Our one and only
Under the power of
Our one and only
Under the power of
Our one and only
