Act Of Contrition

Bright Eyes

the air was all dust and not so untamed 
the ground opened up and swallowed all of the rain 
and it swallowed you too into distance unknown 
as they sat down for dinner they waited for you to get home 
yeah, they set a place for you. 

so don't believe everything you read in that diary of yours 
and this nervousness, it isn't all your fault 
its just these shaking hands won't do what i want...them to 
and i've tried to guess what it is that you thought about 
that act act of contrition that rolled off out tongues as you left 
what are you crying for? 

just dust my heart and you will find 
there are no fingers printed there 
just the untouched place that lies inside 
of every lonely boy tonight. 

and all of this open air has caused me to choke 
on your new found hope for me.
