Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's got fasting black lungs
Made of clove-splintered shards
They're the kind that will talk
Through a wheezing of coughs
[PreChorus]
And I hear him every night, in every pore
And every time, he just makes me warm
[Chorus]
Freeze without an answer, free from all the shame
Must I hide?
'Cause I'll never, never sleep alone
[Verse 2]
Look at how they flock to him
From an isle of open sores
He knows that the taste is such
Such to die for
[PreChorus]
And I hear him every night on every street
The scales that do slither deliver me from
[Chorus]
Freeze without an answer, free from all the shame
Then I'll hide
'Cause I'll never, never sleep alone
[Bridge]
Oh Lord
Said I'm, said I'm
Said I'm, said I'm bloodshot for sure
Pale runs the ghost
Said I'm, said I'm
Swollen on the shore, swollen on the shore
[PreChorus]
In every night, in every pore
The scales that do slither deliver me from
[Chorus]
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
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
