lyrics

Untie me
Or cut the knot
Keep me close
Or I’ll fray
and drift off
Keep me close
Or I’ll spin
and fall short

Defeat me
Your nights were long
And your days were dark
Thought I caught a chill
Walking by your grave
But the wind let up
Or our love slipped by
Keep me numb

Don’t keep running from it this time
You won’t be wrong, it just keeps slipping from me

Keep me close
Keep me calm
Keep me down
Keep me numb

I want red death without the sting
I want blue lips in fields of green
I wan the greyest clouds
At a funeral to let out all the pain
I want it read from a book of wounds
I want it weighed against the debt
On splitting floors in a ring of salt
Break the curse, keep me close

Don’t keep running from it this time
You won’t be wrong, it just keeps slipping from me

Your words meant more to me
Than prayers or scripted eulogies
Reject the son of god
Break bread, lick wounds, kiss guilt
Now rot
