lyrics

For me, God is long dead though I did shed a tear
to find myself in my own room facing all my own fears
and the panic and the power of free will's kiss
and blind chance and romance and all the things that I'll miss when they're gone

These are the things I claim as my own: wood and wire and muscle and bone

Well the ground is unstable everywhere that we walk
And I never can be sure that you hear when I talk
My eyes twitch, my eyes twinge and my memory plays tricks
And when the fog comes, the fog will lie furious and thick in the storm

These are the things that make up my home: wood and wire and muscle and bone

So let me tell you something before you leave this room
I haven't hated in years I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love with this gift that I will never understand
And I'll never understand the simple power in your hands or my own

These are the things I claim as my own: wood and wire and muscle and bone

Eric is a cold, cynical misanthrope who believes in the warm, healing magic of music, and he would love to play your dinner party.
