lyrics

ere at McHollis and Holmes
We found a crow frozen at the base of the tower
It’s wings spread out like someone you might know
From Sunday school or the man above your kitchen table

I showed the father saw my hands diseased
Sin and sickness burried in the breeze
That carried the bids spirit far from me

(Chorus)
Say your graces show your fears
The things they’ll teach you all for years
In the morning find the sheep
Pray to the Lord your soul to keep

Here at McHollis and Holmes
We found each other like fools in the basement
Our hands stretched out like morning mass
An attempt to cleanse one another

The pastor saw through the dim old bulbs
Boxed my ears and he cursed me out
Child save yourself with these simple words

(Chorus)
Say your graces show your fears
The things we’ll teach you all for years
Clean your sins and bare your soul
From down below

Say your graces show your fears
Hide your wicked soul for years
In the morning find the sheep
Pray the Lord your soul to keep

Say your graces show your fears
The things we’ll teach you all for years
Clean your sins and bare your soul
From down below

In the morning find the sheep
Pray the Lord your soul to keep
Clean your sins and bare your soul
Here at McHollis and Holmes
