Peace for Carter (2000)
by Brett Bawcum
Patrons and priests in their buildings
Cry for more
Actors and angels in despair
How they long
All the kings horses
And all the kings men
Women of virtue
And women of sin
The crying child and the dying
How they long
What becomes of faith in nothing
Manifests itself inside this
(Chorus) Finds you where you are
Delivered from a star
Renders every need un-needed
And wants you
A place to call your own
And all the ways you've grown
Bitterness, retreat from feeling
Won't you
It's driven wars in those who should have known
Secret shooters to detox
Fathers home
Suicide models and renaissance men
Who justify their madness by the places they've been
Never stop their searching
How they long
What's become of futile trying
Manifests itself inside this
(Chorus) Finds you where you are
Delivered from a star
Renders every need un-needed
And wants you
A place to call your own
And all the ways you've grown
Bitterness, retreat from feeling
Won't you
