I`ve Been Delivered
I could break free from the wood of a coffin
If I need
But nothing's hard as getting free from places
I've already been
I've been waste deep in the burning meadows
Of my mind
In the engine in cold December
Shooting fire from the hose
Now turn off your lights 'cause I'm not comin' home
'till I'm delivered for the first time
I was first-born to a parade
It follows in rows
Down a narrow cold black river
Faceless shadows
Moving slow
I would move swift when
The sounds of a trumpet would blow
I've been the puppet
I've been the strings I know the vacant face it brings
Now the bells of curfew
They may ring before I'm through
But soon
I'll be delivered for the first time
You might keep clean
in the back of an angel motorcade
It doesn't matter who walks in
You know, the joke is still the same
You'll just wake up
Like a disposable lover
Decomposed
I've been gone
I've been remembered
I've been alive
I've been a ghost
Now if downtown explodes
I'll still be on this road
Till I'm delivered for the first time
I have drawn blood
From the neckline
When vampires were in fashion
You know I'd even learn
To cut my throat
If I thought I could fit in
'Cause I once heard
That you've gotta learn
How to blend in to this mess
Where nothing's hard
Nothing's precious
Nothing's smooth or flawless
Now, no more amused
Just screaming to be delivered
For the first time
Now I'm 10 miles
In the deep
And mighty blue sea
Looking back towards a long white beach
Burning up into yellow flames
And I just wave back
Like a little boy up on a pony
In a show
'cause I can't fix
Something this complex
Anymore than I can build a rose
So just keep on letting go
'cause I must be close
To being delivered for the first time
Now I'd rather bleed out
A long stream from being lonely
And feel blessed
Than drown, laying face down
In a puddle of respect
I was once lost in the corridors of the arena
In blindfolds
I've been the bull I've been the whip
I just pulled down the matador
So now, turn on your lights
'cause I'm comin' home
I've been delivered for the first time
