Lyrics
Lock it in your bones, never see what it feeds
Then you'll never be free
Buried in your belly it'll shriek in your dreams
Stealing your sleep
Wrap it in your throat it'll never be sung
By you or anyone
Clench it in your teeth it'll sizzle your tongue.
Say it out loud, taste your blood
The sky on fire in your mouth
Say it out loud, rains bring the flood
Break the levies open now
Whisper in your lover's ear that you could give her the sun
Let her be the queen of your days
Scream it in a crowded street,
That you were the one, and you know that there's a price to pay.
Say it to your father's face that he let you down
And that you love him anyway
Say it even if you don't know what to say.
Sing it like your lungs are lighting a fire that you'll pass on down to the ages
Sing it like someone who knows that this story has a limited number of pages
Sing it like a sinner, sing when you fail
Sing because singing this way is contagious
Say it out loud, taste your blood
The sky on fire in your mouth
Say it out loud, rains bring the flood
Break the levies open now
