lyrics

One dime down
On the ageless face
With its surgical charm
Its style and its grace
Look how it moves without any pain
There’s light in the eyes
But it’s dark and it rains

An amputated oath
For the miracle of sight
What God has given us
Will finally be set right
With hands cool as the clay
That handles with ease
The most clever and sharpest of knives
To have ever been dreamed

It's one dime down
All memory’s erased
From the skin the teeth the hair
History can be replaced
Mark down everything
That you think you should keep
But remember perfection remains
One cent out of reach

Oh you’re a pretty one
Delicate and fine
Please, please favor me
With a thorn upon your vine

One dime down
And the wait won’t be too long
All you need is faith
In the promise of my song
You are special to me
And there’s nothing that isn’t deserved
Step into my tent for something
More precious than words

There’s no bottom to the eyes
Hungry scars upon the faces
Of those who’ve come to stare
And vanish without a trace
Yes they came in the morning
And waited far into the night
For a Savior to fill them
With riches and beauty and light

It’s one dime down
For anything you’ll confess
Be it love or lies or hate
Unburden yourself and rest
Like a snake you may shed any scales
That have weathered and cracked
Your new skin will make up
For whatever it was that you lacked

You can sing, you can smile, you can grin
You can dance, you can laugh
For only one dime and that’s all
Just don’t ask for it back

Oh you’re a pretty one
Delicate and fine
Please, please favor me
With a rose upon your vine
