Bleed out of black clouds
So I can drink the rain,
Turn into a tourniquet
So I can salve your pain.

No matter how the tide comes
The blackest skies, take away your shine
Show me the reason I can’t stop
Burning my eyes, watching beauty die
When I can’t stop, burning my eyes

Cut my throat wide
So I can smile again,
Let my soul spill
And paint me as you will.

No matter how the tide comes,
The blackest skies, take away your shine
Show me the reason I can’t stop
Burning my eyes, watching beauty die
When I can’t stop, burning my eyes

I can’t feel my fingers
Tendon’s severed and I feel numb
I can’t lift my fingers,
Picking at the palm at rusted nails,
I can’t stop burning my eyes

Fester like a wound,
Worm escaping the womb,
Burrow deep in the earth
Staring at the sky,
I can’t stop burning my eyes.
