lyrics

guilty as i am, i forget all too easily
insatiable are the eyes of man
when everything i see i think i need
peaceful as a river, i'm the first the throw a stone
and i'll stop what i am doing for a tragedy

grateful as i am, i forget all too easily
a feast enjoyed with friends
when i'm left alone with plates to clean
youthful as a boy, i grow older with each day
and look to the time i've lost rather than what remains

we're infinite souls stuck in earthen cages
we gave up the garden but demand our rights
we're more precious than gold but we're sold for a good time
we're playing with fire and surprised by the light

forgiven as i am, i forget all too easily
the goodness of the Lord
when the fruit i bare is not holy seed
humbled as i am, still prideful as i was
i love my neighbors best when they're away

we're infinite souls stuck in earthen cages
we gave up the garden but demand our rights
we're more precious than gold but we're sold for a good time
we're playing with fire and surprised by the light

faithful as i am, i'm as fickle as the tide
i ebb and flow my way upon your shore
gentle like my father but still not half the man
i'm quick to quit what he taught me when it counts

we're strays in the alley when our seats at the banquet
entrusted with the kingdom but we're burying our wages
we're dressed in holy garments but we're playing in the muck
true love coursing in our veins and we're strung out on drugs
we're infinite souls stuck in earthen cages
we're strays scrammin' for scraps when a feast is awaitin'
we're more precious than gold but we're sold for a good time
we're asking for your fire but denying the light

yea we're asking for fire
