lyrics

how long
tell me how long

will I keep chasing the tales
that I tell myself
and sink my teeth into silence
I'm damned if I do
but I do it so damn well
hell ain't big enough to hide it

but fire would be
such a welcome relief
from living each day on the tip of my tongue
I bite at the leash
of those figures of speech
but they keep on draggin’ me on and on

how long
tell me how long

but it's been coiled up inside me for so long

and it keeps tryin’ to break free
claw its way outta me
crawl up through my throat
punch its way through my teeth
but i wont let it go
‘cause what would keep me company
when the spell gets spoken
and the thread keeps pullin’ me on
