Lyrics: Sufjan Stevens. Seven Swans. A Good Man Is Hard to Find.

Once in the backyard
She was once like me, she was once like me
Twice when I killed them
They were once at peace, they were once like me

Hold to your gunman and put off all your peace
Put off all the beast
Paid a full of these, I wait for it, but someone's once like me
She was once like me

I once was better
I put off all my grief, I put off all my grief
And so I go to hell, I wait for it
But someone's left me creased and someone's left me creased
