about

This is the title track from my debut release and I am extremely grateful that you have downloaded this EP. I want to try and get this as big as possible and you downloading this has helped very much. I recorded it in my mates bedroom and I am very proud. If you could tell your friends and family to download too, it would mean so much! Thank you, and in the words of the Toy Story aliens, 'I am eternally grateful'.

lyrics

He stands out in the rain
Whilst his clothes cling to his frame
He holds his chain in his hands
As they tremble, as they tremble

He shouts to St. Christopher
Protect us from the pain
He feels nothing
His pupils dilate

With St. Christopher in his hands
Hanging from the chain
He falls to his knees they bleed
his fingers in the dirt

Hes lost from his home
With nowhere to go
He hopes for some guidance
From st Christopher

His cigarette stained fingers
Hold St. Christopher tighter
His filthy nails mark his palms
As he grasps

The book by his feet
Soaked through from the rain
Is his safety net from the world
It is all he really knows

With St. Christopher in his hands
Hanging from the chain
He falls to his knees they bleed
his fingers in the dirt

With St. Christopher in his hands
Hanging from the chain
He falls to his knees they bleed
his fingers in the dirt

St. Christopher protect us
St. Christopher Protect us
