Analysis of In The Distant Clear
Your remembrance is crystal
Vengence reigns down like guilt
Patience is like a bad habit
What congregation are you sitting among?
You see me from your church
With the blood stained windows
If you want to be content
Why is your smile upside-down?
I will never apologize for who I am
You will never admit how you truly feel
Heaven and earth
May come between us someday
And I will still be innocent
As innocent as a black sheep
