Poor Isaac

Lyrics

[Chorus] Oh and God just leave that Abraham alone He wants a son, he wants a son Everybody wants a home Though I'm not quite sure if poor Isaac would agree "My God," he said, "What did I do To make you wanna watch me bleed?" And I feel sick tonight, I feel just like The dancing flame on a funeral light And I'm not sure if I want you to save me And I'd be less uptight if I knew the sight Of blood was just a weakness And not the whole reason that you made me But sometimes I think it is... [Chorus] Oh and God just go and leave me all alone I'm not your son, I'm not your son Everybody dies alone Was this world not quite hard enough for you? I guess like anyone, you've got Your own scores to settle too And I'm so pissed tonight, I feel just like The last remainin' Canaanite And I don't think that I will be returning And if you wanna see the irony And the savage price of piety There's a lot of us who are going to be burning How does it feel? [BRIDGE] And the sorrow that I know When I'm alone, I can't express All these darling angels singing in my ear And the comfort of their touch It cuts right through this emptiness And it's everything I want and everything I fear But I don't fear God That child was my friend I spent a long time with his curse I can feel him trembling beneath his plea I don't know if there is water All I know is there's this thirst And it might be for the best Though I'm not quite sure if Isaac would agree
