lyrics

Chew on your gravel
Don’t spit out the stones
Swallow jagged ends
That plague you

Tear off the hand
That makes your bed
Make yours instead
Sleep well through the night
And please don’t make a sound
After a bad dream

Before you cut all lines
You must send word
This ship is sinking
Shovel out the water
Bury your burdens
Beer and wine make people blind
So who will confess?

When your mouth runs dry
The years go by
Was it all for something?
You had the chance
To make amends
But you can’t go without it

And it feels so strange
To shed the weight
Of all the bullshit in my brain
And when you shoved that dagger into her heart

I’ve said all to say
Without cracking my teeth
I’ll sing in the void
And no one will hear my voice
Under my skin I
Feel an ocean that stirs
Perpetual screams
Echoing off my bones
Our condition
Perched upon my mind
Love for one
And none for all that’s fine

This is a raft with a hole we poked in it
Laugh as the candles go out in the wind
And we... no no no
