Ludlow

First the whisper then the shout

First the temple then the doubt

First the angel spreads her wings

Shadow covers everything

I wanna tell you but I don't know how

I mouth the words but they won't come out

I've been a liar I've been alone

I've been a stranger in my own damn home

First the captive then the guard

First the artist then the art

First the fruit fell from the tree

Then the pain the ecstasy

I wanna tell you but I don't know how

I mouth the words but they won't come out

I've been a liar I've been alone

I've been a stranger in my own damn home

First the ark and then the flood

First the brother then the blood

First the last and last the first

Then the righteous know their worth

I wanna tell you but I don't know how

I mouth the words but they won't come out

I've been a liar I've been alone

I've been a stranger in my own damn home
