lyrics

Let me in
into you
so I may lay
above your hooves, not
a body in reddened sand
twixt wanton quilts with rat'ling hands

Let me claw
into you
don't leave me here
between the sun
and your mood
blood soaked
on this blanket of drugs
choking on your hair
a mattress of bruises
to rest my headache
suffocate my ears

Don't release my soul
and I'll let you have it all
I promise I'll behave
just hold on

If you feel me fight
don't pull away, just hold on
if I scream my song
don't pull away, just hold on
like a vulture tearing at the bone
just hold on
don't release me here

If you let go
confine my parts and hang
me with the salted meat, the cockerel wings
heed me this succoring
of nourishing the passing flies

or let me in
into you
devour me
and I will ease
your blood and soothe
the roiling flood
beneath your crackled jaw
wear your collection of knuckles around my neck
and let the poisons
wither, outstretched
on your fingertips

Don't release my soul
and I'll let you have it all
I promise I'll behave
just hold on...

if you feel me fight, don't pull away
just hold on
if I scream my song, don't pull away
just hold on
like a vulture tearing at the bones
just hold on
don't release me here...

getting so cold
my body is getting old
a thousand chemicals
spring from my lungs and entwine with my tendrils, creeping
loose from the depths of a vision I once called home
the demons I raised in my fire now freely roam here...
