Lyrics:

While you read to me from the riot act way on high, high,
Clutching a crisp New Testament, breathing fire, fire.
Will you save me the fake benevolence, I don't have time
I'm just too far gone for the telling, lost my pride

I don't mind being lonely,
So leave me alone.
You're acting all holy,
Me, I'm just full of holes.

Well I can dip my head in the river,
Cleanse my soul, oh.
I'll still have the stomach of a sinner,
Face like an unholy ghost.
Will you save me all the soliloquies?
Paid my fines,
I'll be gone before my deliverance.
Preach what you like

Cause I don't mind being lonely,
So leave me alone.
You're acting all holy,
Me, I'm just full of holes.

Full of holes.

I don't mind being lonely,
So spare me the brimstone.
Acting all holy,
When you know I'm full of holes.

Don't mind being lonely,
Don't need to be told.
Stop acting so holy,
I know I'm full of holes.

Full of holes.

I don't mind being lonely,
Won't you leave me alone?
Are you, oh, so holy,
That I'll never be good enough?

Don't care if I'm lonely,
Cause it feels like home.
I won't ever be holy,
Thank God I'm full of holes.

Full of holes.

This is so, so lovely and awful. The scenes with Yondu and Meredith dying did me in, and I also loved the way you used Peter freezing in space with Gamora, and Yondu showing up. And all the team feels! Gamora's smiles in particular were so great here.

Thank you so much! <3 Lovely and awful, yes ... I just couldn't resist the resonance between Yondu rescuing Peter from deep space, and then the two of them in deep space together at the end.

*CRIES*

Thank you for the lovely comment!

Wow, this is great. What an absolutely perfect song choice!

[sholio]

Thank you so much! Isn't the song a wonderful fit? The first time I heard it after seeing the movie, I absolutely had to vid Peter to it.
