the [bad word] cold and bright as I need it
the [bad word] 
no one asked any questions
for fear that I might answer

cold and bright as I need it 
the [bad word] 
hide me in your hand
with the mother of my children
the [bad word] where the land sinks deep in it's color
bless the ground where we kneel
safe in your woven creel
cold and bright as I need it 
the [bad word] you speak as no other

the [bad word] I've not yet closed my eyes 
cold and bright as I need it 
the sun does rise

these were my thoughts as I
passed neath your window
I saw you through stained glass
with only one eye

for I am everything
I am everything
I am everything that he is not
