Hello mire, you thick black fight
Lay it out, set it down
Strike me dead if I’m wrong
Let me know the cost of taking my own head
Fire flying I can’t take a break to fight
Fire flooding out my taste to know a lie
All’s not lost, if you call it crossed
All we are is second lines that make the first look straight
Fire flying I can’t take a break to fight
Fire flooding out my taste to know a lie
Fire flying I can’t take a break to fight
Fire flooding out my taste to know what’s right
Father if you hear me please
Take my breath and bind my knees
Because I’m staring at the tallest trees
Darker than the night I fight
Louder than my honest pleas
Drinking all I have to bleed
These days they are hungry things
Surrender them to find release
