lyrics

There’s a pocket in the world
Where it keeps its fire
Folded and safe
A flag still furled
I tapped the vein and I lost both my hands

Restless, driving at night alone
Forsaken, trying to atone
Vanished, none of my thoughts my own
Behind me something gaining

Burning, bright blue and demon white
Slow motion, pockmarked by the light
Moments, speech has become a blight
Around me something closing

In the hurricane
I feel safe again
What comes next
Is no secret

Every appetite
Hides a parasite
What comes next
Is no secret

Ink-stained pages
Empty stages
What comes next
Is no secret

Shuffle till I find
I’m deaf, dumb and blind
What comes next
Is no secret

Fate has a kiss like a hammer
Hope’s a rover
Each bruise is a one-way ticket
Dig your way back and start over
