lyrics

1. Cleanskin

You work so hard it breaks my heart, bathed
in sound and naked in the dark. Oh this bag of
bones feels carved in stone, and you long for
a clean skin.

You've banged you heart against this world
too long, pissed in your own swimming pool
for too long. Some days you ride dark horses,
some nights you howl at the moon - a hall full
of case files in boxes, but you never sue for
a clean skin.

You're grinding hard on sunlight, straining to
catch hold of smoke - a slow-burning fuse for
a handhold, a primer in knots for a rope. All
the drawers are full of ritual.

Some days you ride dark horses, some nights
you howl at the moon - a hall full of case files
in boxes, but you never sue. Oh this bag of
bones feels carved in stone, and you pray for
a clean skin.
