lyrics

Made a deal with the devil at the foot of my bed
She promised me I’d forget
Everything I said I did
Broken promises and broken bread

And there in communion
She shackled my wrists and she forked my tongue
She declared my heart a gun
For the absent father and the lonely son

I felt the poison turn my blood
As the nails in my hands turned to rust
We threw away the filling and we ate the crust
A need, no faith, no love

And it’s all so typical
So typically me
I am oh so typical
So typically weak

I made a deal with the devil, I sold my will
For a broken spirit and a sleeping pill
And she took my name and she made me ill
As I offered up my blood to spill

And there in communion
She took my trinity and made it one
My ego came undone
With the buckle of my belt and the web I’d spun

No will, no faith, no love
I need no faith, no love

And it’s all so typical
So typically me
I am oh so typical
So typically weak

Now here I am in the aftermath
And I’m happy in my sadness
Here I am in aftershock
Happy and weak
But I’m happy

Cosy in the swelling heat
Of the fires the engulf my feet
Cosy in my swelling need
Memories of remedies
