Black Thorn Lyrics


don't you recognize me?

i'm the tangible scream

have you come for relief?

you will never be free

of me

i smeared my mouth with lipstick

so when you reach in to pluck out my words

your hands will be stained

i'll crack my teeth on your bones

a sacrifice of marrow for soul

my body is a cinder

set amongst the cold debris

a flint to spark the wisdom

of a weathered pedigree

the blackthorn grows within you

brambled branches free of leaves

i'll set us both ablaze

a swirling, golden filigree

don't you recognize me?

i'm the tangible scream

have you come for relief?

you will never be free

of me

my body is a cinder

set amongst the cold debris

a flint to spark the wisdom

of a weathered pedigree

the blackthorn grows within you

brambled branches free of leaves

i'll set us both ablaze

a swirling, golden filigree
