lyrics

Hold me now as I try to be a good man,
because I don't even know what that looks like anymore.
My shirt and tie were only austere at best,
and what a flimsy house we've made for ourselves.

Hold me now as I give up all my virtues
because they never really were mine in the first place.
All the books I've read have taught me justice at best,
and what a flimsy world we've made for ourselves.

But you,
you're the first page of Lolita
and I, I'll give my tangled thorns up to you.
Hallelujah, I can't do it alone.

Hold me now as I try to give myself up
because I was never worth believing in to begin with.
My code of honor, oh, I sure tried my best.
But what flimsy gods we make for ourselves.

And you,
you're the first page of Lolita
and I, I'll give my tangled thorns up to you.
Hallelujah, I can't do it alone.
And you,
you're my sweetest Desdemona
and I, I'm in a jealous rage before you.
God help me, I can't do it alone.
