Faithless Darlin' - William Patrick Corgan

I live in darkness, darling

Faith is that rite

True, others bade me past others

Then fell from my scales

Revisit Christ’s decision

There’s edict and there’s force

Yet, no set course

Will gilt a soul on its way back out

Four years of sorrow

I’ve turned and turned and turned amends

I fear as much, it’s easy

Or hearts sink low with you where a

Heart’s shone through

Oh, if I was that carpenter I’d love you, baby

What’s faithless, the faithless prove

From treasures since unrivaled

And cities on the wane no masked man came

To frighten off and slate the moths disused

On pain of some deliverance I chanted rain

Rosettes of embered failings

Refuse to douse

Inhibit me of free-saying

If I’ll vanquish same and sooth

Oh, apt due

For Lily’d ghosts on their way back out

Four years of sorrow

I’ve slung and slung and flung amends

I fear as much, it’s easy

Or hearts sink low with you

Where a heart’s shone though

Oh, if I was that carpenter I’d love you, baby

What’s faithless, the faithless prove

From pleasures since upended

And sailors hear the tills of woe

No path I will

Has ever showed but who I am

Has ever showed but who I am

Has ever showed but who I am
