Black Tongue

Shed the demons from my breath

With every word I said

Aloud

Cold nights show the walking dead

With strangers lying in my bed

And regrets running through my head

 

Black Tongue

Moves the words around in my mouth

My heart

Wants the words to come out

My head

Knows what the words are about

Black Tongue

You wag about

But now I'm going to cut you out

 

Sinners are always yearning for salvation

All they need is an invitation

To be saved

From games I don't really want to play

Instead of leaving out the door I just stay

To let you walk on my grave

To **** me in every way
