Living Proof (Live)

Well now on a summer night in a dusky room

Come a little piece of the lords undying light

Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon

In his mothers arms it was all the beauty I could take

Like the missing words to some prayer that I could never make

In a world so hard and dirty so fouled and confused

Searching for a little bit of gods mercy

I found living proof

I put my heart and soul I put em high upon a shelf

Right next to the faith the faith that Id lost in myself

I went down into the desert city

Just tryin so hard to shed my skin

I crawled deep into some kind of darkness

Lookin to burn out every trace of who Id been

You do some sad sad things baby

When its your you re tryin to lose

You do some sad and hurtful things

I've seen living proof

You shot through my anger and rage

To show me my prison was just an open cage

There were no keys no guards

Just one frightened man and some old shadows for bars

Well now all that's sure on the boulevard

Is that life is just a house of cards

As fragile as each and every breath

Of this boy sleepin in our bed

Tonight let's lie beneath the eaves

Just a close band of happy thieves

And when that train comes well get on board

And steal what we can from the treasures of the lord

Its been along long drought baby

Tonight the rains pourin down on our roof

Looking for a little bit of gods mercy

I found living proof
