Sympathy Lyrics

Artist: Sleater Kinney
Album: One Beat

I know I come to you only when in need
Iâ‚¬â„¢m not the best believer
not the most deserving
but all I have all I am all I can
For him
Iâ‚¬â„¢d beg you on bended knees for himâ‚¬
Precious baby, is your life hanging by a thread?
A thread Iâ‚¬â„¢m standing on, praying on today
All I have all I am all I can
For him
Iâ‚¬â„¢d beg you on bended knees for him
I've got this curse in my hands
All I touch fades to black
Turns to dust turns to sand
I've got this curse on my tongue
All I taste is the rust
This decay in my blood
I donâ‚¬â„¢t like the doctor with the deep long face
Only wants to give us the very worst case
Iâ‚¬â„¢d rather shout out and shake him and do anything
For him
Iâ‚¬â„¢d beg you on bended knees for him
When the moment strikes
it takes you by surprise and
leaves you naked in the face of death and life
there is no righteousness in your darkest moment
Weâ‚¬â„¢re all equal in the face of what weâ‚¬â„¢re most afraid of
And Iâ‚¬â„¢m so sorry
for those who didnâ‚¬â„¢t make it
and for the mommies who are left with their heart breaking
Search for meaning in sores
The sentences they might form
Itâ‚¬â„¢s the grammar of skin
Peel it back, let me in
Look for hope in the dark
The shadow cast by your heart
Itâ‚¬â„¢s the grammar of faith
No more rules, no restraint
How angry I would be
If youâ‚¬â„¢d taken him away
I wish I was wiser but instead
Iâ‚¬â„¢ll be grateful Iâ‚¬â„¢ll say thanks
For the joy for the love for the smile on his face
Iâ‚¬â„¢d beg you on bended knees for him
