Spotless Soul Lyrics by Haley Sharpe
[Verse 1]
Inside the doorway
Down endless hallways
Just last December
You can't remember
(Ah)
(Ah)
(Ah)
(Ah)
I sit beside you
Wanna know that I do
This side opens through
I'll always love you
(Ah)
[Verse 2]
Dissect it, inspect it
Spit and shine, your spotless soul
Perfect it, protect it
Terrified you'll break the mold
(Ah)
(Ah)
Don't you know this love ain't yours to hold
Lose your grip in your illusion of control
(Ah)
[Bridge]
Like sadness, like gladness
Nothin's sometimes what you feel
Like flatness, like madness
Nothin's sometimes all that's real
[Verse 3]
Perfect bliss' the mist that you've been sold
Imperfection, that's the truth you hold
I know an angel with holes in her bones and dog called hope
So fine, so frail, so thin
I'll wait in her room, when it's all too much and I just can't cope
But she brings hope to find me there
Hope to prea-, Hope to die
Stick the needle in my bloodshot eye
I'll try one cry
I know an angel, with holes in her bones and a dog called hope
[Verse 4]
She's one step above the rest
All the king's horses, all the king's mess
Just to taste and rumor beyond the sin
Captures the universe, sways with it gracefully
Arms wide like a bird in the sky
Voice raised loud, conducting the crowd
As the symphony blazes, the great one cries
She sways amazed, tears fill her eyes
Still she sees far beyond, the confines of these walls
(Tides rise,) Empires fall
Though she tried to explain to me, time and again
The infinite tapestry, folly of men
But the truth plain and simple, for her eyes to see
A needle, a haystack, to fools like me
So kind, so gentle, so frail, so fair
Search the world open, you won't find her there
Only once before and now never to be
Will her perfect light light the world
For fools like me
[Outro]
She's one step above the rest
All the king's angels, never so blessed
