Gethsemane Lyrics – Car Seat Headrest

[Part 1]

[Verse 1]
It promised me a good life if I followed all its wishes
I never missed a prayer and I always did the dishes
What’s beautiful is good but what’s that blood along the ridges
What is that for?

[Chorus 1]
Tabernacle
Tabernacle
Tabernacle

Tabernacle

[Verse 2]
Stones of white preserve the words unspeakable for ages
It’s not a place of honor or esteemed deed commemorated
What’s left inside is what’s evolved from what we have forsaken
Check the black box

[Chorus 1]
Tabernacle
Tabernacle
Tabernacle
Tabernacle

[Verse 3]
You puke and spit and beat your fists against it but it’s unshaken
There’s nothing left to offer to restore what has been taken
Your body is a temple but your holy wounds are aching
Leave the fat off

[Chorus 1]
Tabernacle
Tabernacle
Tabernacle
Tabernacle

[Part 2]

[Verse 4]
I can do whatever the fu*k I want when I want to
You’re only wearing my skin
I can do whatever the fu*k I want when I want to
You’re only wearing my skin

[Chorus 2]
It’s just a night in your life
(You’re only wearing my skin)
Maybe there’s something to take the edge off
It’s just the sound of your electric heart
(You’re only wearing my skin)
Cracklelacklelai and you will be calm

[Verse 5]
You can dial 911 if you need to
I can’t put out every fire
You can call the whole damn squad if you want to
I can’t put out every fire

[Chorus 3]
You’re just a lie in my heart
(You’re only wearing my skin)
Everybody starts out curious
Is there no king behind the walls?
(You’re only wearing my skin)
Cracklelacklelai and I will not fall

[Bridge]
I can’t put out every fire
I can’t put out every fire
I can’t put out every fire
I can’t put out every fire
