lyrics

Oh penitence, wrapped around me like snake
Patience, let me bend before I break
I saw and loved the earth
So I just took, like any creature would
Saw your veins that shook
Tender tremors below skin and soot

But medicine, hammer between my lips
Scolding brain cells into metamorphosis
Medicine, bug under my skin
Eating all my common sense

Doctor, Doctor can’t you see this hole that I am in?
Give me something sweet so I can begin to dig again
Stranger, Stranger, Stranger see my sunken shallow skin
Follow me so I’m not alone again

Give me some part of the sun
Some part you have shed upon
The light of your skin and scream
Are what I miss
I’ve been down here for so long
Just like you, craving good intentions
Parched, continue to search for poison

Doctor, Doctor can’t you see this hole that I am in?
Give me something sweet so I can begin to dig again
Stranger, Stranger see my sunken shallow skin
Follow me so I’m not alone again


(Oh you wish you knew how
You wish you how)
Darling you’ve never lived
Never known a breath
Til you’ve lived like this
It ate you up like a fig
Tooth and nail clawing inside
Bit by bit
