Lyrics Peril - Kevin Wulf

Hate yourself until you see
You caused yourself this agony
Your single mind
Precious seconds, wasting time
Lost love, you start to fiend
Your innocence concealed by greed
All praise to your majesty

Lay down on the Earth
The only one who knows your worth
Lay down on the Earth
Let them claw at the birch and deal with the takers

Rip yourself until you bleed
I am the only one who sees
Your tender scars
Long healed burns of stale cigars
I dreamt of leaning trees
And tunnels made of maples leaves
The peeled old bark
Laid afoot, wait for a spark

I know myself (whatever I need)
Convinced I know the only working route (I need more than I know)
My pagan health (this stagnant air)
Keeps me still inside the walls I've built (hold our coughs for so long)
These sturdy bones (the bricks of these walls)
Hard to break before the fall I felt (gently laid down together)
Hold out my son (stand in front of everyone)
