lyrics

It's hard not to believe,
The tender heart
will fool you so,
overflowing matter.

I am naked, out of reach,
silent and complete.

But it hangs, constantly
this division, inside me.
It's hard not to believe.

Those floating clouds
up on the ridge,
are hungry ghosts in waiting,
and the one that I'm beholden to's
relentless glow has faded.

Sit down for the feast,
oh, the one's who need it least,
It's hard not to believe.

I was born to be loved in
The golden age of chatter.
That endless rope, it pulls me where,
the tender-hearted gather.

Sit down for the feast,
Oh, the one's who need it least,

It's hard not to believe.
