  • He's got fasting black lungs
    Made of clove splintered shards
    They're the kind that will talk
    Through a wheezing of coughs

    And I hear him
    Every night
    In every pore
    And every time
    He just makes me warm

    Freeze without an answer
    Free from all the shame

    Must I hide?
    'Cause I'll never
    Never sleep alone

    Look at how they flock to him
    From an isle of open sores
    He knows that the taste is such
    Such to die for

    And I hear him
    Every night
    On every street
    The scales that do slither
    Deliver me from

    Freeze without an answer
    Free from all the shame

    Then I'll hide
    'Cause I'll never
    Never sleep alone

    Oh, Lord
    Said I'm, said I'm
    Said I'm, said I'm bloodshot for sure
    Pale runs the ghost
    Said I'm
    Swollen on the shore
    Swollen on the shore

    Every night
    In every pore
    The scales that do slither
    Deliver me from

    Freeze without an answer
    Free from all the shame
    Then I'll hide
    'Cause I'll never
    Never sleep alone

    Freeze without an answer
    Free from all the shame
    Let me die
    'Cause I'll never
    Never sleep alone Writer/s: Cedric Bixler, Omar Rodriguez
