lyrics

Crawling out the shadows,
Mischief smile, limp limbs,
Broken bones, beaten dog crawl,
Hands and feet, spit in the sink.
New boy broke immaculate,
Sell him for wine and sheep skin,
Throw him in the cart and
Whip him like an evil child.

Mud brains; worthlessness
Gun stains; humanless.
Ice teeth, glass bones
Nomads know no homes.
Wicked blood thirsty you,
Dressed up with horn and claw
If I could run fast enough
I'd run from you all.

I'm scared of the dark,
The way its poison penetrates my brain,
It holds my head to its heart,
Promises I won't sleep again.
Everyone's an ice sculpture,
Shaking 'round in an earthquake.
You watch them teeter back and forth,
Just hoping that they won't break.

It comes forth in storms,
Holds its victims on a leash.
I held on tight as I could
But the wind dragged you away from me.
And the pale, empty air
Fills up every day.
I sit, drunk and smiling
Watching faces fade away.

There's an angel in a dresser
Unobtainable to me.
There's a light in the promised land
Mine people shall not see.

Please. Don't. Spill. Me.
