Artist/Band: Anberlin
Lyrics for Song: (*Fin)
Lyrics for Album: Cities [2007]



Feels like you're miles from here

In other towns with lesser names

Where the unholy ghost doesn't tell

Mary or William exactly what they want to hear



You remember the house on Ridge Road

Told you and the devil to both just leave me alone

If this is salvation, I can show you the trembling

You'll just have to trust me, I'm scared



I am the patron saint of lost causes

Aren't we all to you just near lost causes?

Aren't we all to you, just lost?



Tommy, you left behind something

That'll mean everything right before you die

What if you gained the whole world?

You've already lost four little souls from your life



Widows and orphans aren't hard to find

They're home missing daddy, who's saving the abandoned tonight.

Wish your drinking would hurry and kill you

Sympathy's better than having to tell you the truth



That you are the patron saint of lost causes

All you are to them is now a lost cause

All you are to them is now, causes.



Billy, don't you understand?

Timothy stood as long as he could

And now, you made his faith disappear

More like a magician and less like a man of the cloth.



We're not questioning God

Just those He chose to carry on His cross

We're no better, you'll see

Just all of us, the lost causes



Aren't we all to you just lost causes?

Are we all to you lost, lost causes?

So all we are to you is all we are, is all we are

All we are is all we are.



[Choir:]

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

(Lost causes, we are is all we are)

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

(To you, lost causes)

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?



Take what you will, what you will and leave.

Could you kill, could you kill me

If the world was on fire

and nothing was left but hope or desire

And take all that I could bring forth, is this hell

Or am I on the floor over-desperate?

Hold hands streaming of blood again?

And then take full weight of me

Guard my dreams, figure this out,

It's me on my own. Helpless, hurting, hell

Will you stay strong as you promised?

Cause I'm stranded and bare.

Meanness is washed up in all that I am

is God. Take this and all,

Then grace takes me to a place

Of the father you never had

Ripping and breaking and tearing apart

This is not heaven

This is my hell.
