EMILIE AUTUMN LYRICS - Second Hand Faith

"Second Hand Faith"



I'll take my hope where I can find it

Seems I find it here in you

Hang your curtain get behind it

I won't even ask for proof

Go ahead and read my fortune

Cast your dice devine my fate

I just want to know I have one

Tell me that it's not too late for

A little second hand faith

A line upon my palm that I can't just erase

'Cause I need to believe in a hierarchic grace

I can do without a book I'll never read

Second hand faith is all I need

I will pay you for your trouble

I will pay you for your time

Steal my wallet, charge me double

All I've come for is a sign

Is there someone who can help me?

Up above the clouds I see

Sitting in a Chinese restaurant

Someone comes to offer me

A little second hand faith

A line upon my palm that I can't just erase

'Cause I need to believe in a hierarchic grace

I can do without a book I'll never read

Second hand faith is all I need

'Cause this feeling of forgiveness means much more to me

Than that paper on the wall that cost you all of ten bucks

If an ancient word, a heathen spell can salvage me

I will believe in miracles 'cause it would take a saint to set me free

And if my luck don't last too long

Or if my life gets worse

I'll be back for another song

A blessing or a curse

And I'll never ask for refunds

'Cause I know you're not to blame

Take more blood, more hair, more money

I'll do anything to claim

A little second hand faith

A line upon my palm that I can't just erase

'Cause I need to believe in a hierarchic grace

I can do without a book I'll never read

Second hand faith is all I need

Is a little second hand faith

A line upon my palm that I can't just erase

'Cause I need to believe in a hierarchic grace

What somebody threw away

May just get me through the day

I can do without a book I'll never read

Second hand faith is all I need

Second hand faith is all I need

Is all I need

Is all I
