Lyrics

I hear her A rattle Beating inside my chest Stem the tide A face that's mine A quiet lie If you could see in me A language buried deep A wish unsewn Come home A cage is laid From bone and shade for you Can't turn off Can't turn down So bright inside my head Got to breathe Sit and be Never leave Burned right to the quick Wild prayers, no tricks Her grip Her lips At my mouth She is the poison She is my cure I hear laughter in the silence Such is madness, such is violence The struggle, that's what binds us My secret dark defiance When thoughts come uninvited Like weeds, they grow inside us To the seeds, we turn for guidance Alone I am the poison, I am the cure
