[Verse 1]
Memory fails me
Names and faces blur
There is only after or before
Am I still different?
Have I changed?
I do not recognize my face
The scar fades but pulls inside
Tugging at me all the time
Chewing on a feeling
And spitting it out
Crushed in a ball gown
Anxious and ashamed
The vague humiliations of faith

[Chorus]
I do not find worthiness or virtue
I no longer try to be good
It didn’t keep me safe
Like you told me that it would
So come on tear me wide open
A terrible gift
Let the chorus console me
Sympathy magic

[Verse 2]
And light coming in the window just so
And the wind through my fingers
The only God that I know
And it does not want me on my knees to believe
Head high, arms wide
Aching, aching, aching

[Chorus]
And love
And love
So I don’t have to be worthy

I no longer try to be good
It didn’t keep me safe
Like you told me that it would
So come on tear me wide open
‘Til I’m losing my mind
‘Til I cannot contain it
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

[Bridge]
So come on, come on, I can take it
Give me everything you got
What else, what else, what else, what else
So come on, come on, I can take it
Give me everything you got
What else, what else, what else, what else
What else, what else, what else

[Outro]
Sympathy magic (Ooh)
Sympathy magic
Sympathy magic (Ooh)
Sympathy magic
So come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on
So come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on (Sympathy magic)
