The Weeks - Thief in my Mouth lyrics

Dust on my palms He would never be whole again Verses and psalms In a book of bitter men Cracks on my tounge From all these lies and unspoken sins This war was won Long before light even touched my skin Oh if I'd stay we could never get in again Blistered and stained, oh and a hell among a mix of friends The skin of a God Chisels and cracks on a perfect face Something feels odd Burning cold flesh of castaway Tounges made of ash Felt by mouths and was bitten black Safely we ask And tell me oh God should I look back? Oh If I'd stay we could never get in again Blistered and stained, Oh and a hell among a mix of friends Cause I'm in a world no one breathes safe or easy We live or we die for what we have I am a man, my heart will beat regardless Thief in my mouth to steal my brains Lengthen the days Break all the clocks there's no use for time Dress made of lace Tied around the tree soaked in turpentine Callusing hands Whispering thoughts of a working man These hands don't shake And hold up these walls just the best we can Oh If I'd stay we could never get in again Blistered and stained, Oh and a hell among a mix of friends Time in a world no one breathes safe and easy We live or we die for what we have I am a man, my heart will beat regardless Thief in my mouth to steal my brains I am a man, my heart we beat regardless Thief in my mouth to steal my brains
