THE EPILOGUE MERCURY SHOT LYRICS

 
Here's the rock and your stale eyes,
Here's me stuck between, I'm paralyzed
High water and hell suggest I utter farewell
If release could save me from the few,
I'll take the glass and push it through
All the voices that scream, 'why won't you?'

The skin that you stain, and the lips that you mute
With the blood that you'll spill, how will you sleep tonight?
You ran this track red, over, up and inside
You ran this track red

It gets cold like no one knows
It comes and goes
If home is where my body falls, I'm sleeping anywhere but here

Scrape my nails along the bottom of an ill-spent chance
Structure once defined us virgins of the order
Sweet light lifting a reciprocal morning from the disaster of the past
Truth raped the system and now we're hungry for more

Panic blooming flowers in the stomach of the beast
Inhale holy feast
Salt sits on sidewalks while the last mercury shot up the tube
And now, I'll don His crown of thorns

Till the margins stretch, bend, and break
Till morning gives in and reverses the day
And clumsy as I fell, I still made excuses
I am homesick all over again

[some thieving suicides never took a damn thing, just replaced
the safety that was hiding just behind your face
You would hush and still a traitorous pulse,
just know that the floor's always coldest on the way out]

Oh baby, I am just a new liar in your life
Our scars take the spotlight and we always praise the perverse
