lyrics

There’s soot on the lungs
A shadow of my age
The same shade of midnight
As the coal on my brain
There’s tar in my stomach
In the shape of a violent rage
A toxin too thick for
The leech on my veins

Shake off your shadow
Break what retrains you
Draw out your bad cells
Burn them and see what they turn into

There’s soot on my table
And dust on the doorstep
Coal on my mantle
Black burns on the carpet
Tar on the bedsheets
I’ve started to cough it up
And spread the infection
To those which I love

Shake off your shadow
Break what retrains you
Draw out your bad cells
Burn them and see what they turn into

Shake off your shadow
Shed all your dead skin
Dance in the fire
Draw with the charcoal you’re carrying

The soot on my lungs
Established and here to stay
Whose dark makes the midnight
As strong as the day
