White Cross Lyrics

This cavity is born, let me keep you warm. This cavity it grows, let me help it slow. I'm the snake, I'm the rat in your veins. Take my hand, follow me and I'll walk you home past these sorrowed pines. It's light that I feed you, it's light that you need to make you grow. Grow apart from yourself, apart from your health. I will be the one to help sharpen your teeth, you can bite at the walls ‘til you bring it down. The streets they swell with colour tonight. That sharp machine will blaze until I can call you mine and we will be one, you will be mine. For every ounce of pain, for every sad refrain, I am here residing in this silver. You're starving and you're cold, you're shaking for my touch. I am here, you're all alone. The streets they swell with colour tonight. That sharp machine will blaze until I can call you mine and we will be one, you will be mine. I know you feel me in your chest, scratching at your lungs like asbestos. It's too late, I'll never let you go, lodged in the back of your throat. I will never let you go. This casualty is life for me, let me keep you warm. This tragedy is good for me, I will never leave
The snake, the rat
