Swine Tooth Grin

May the oceans wash the sin from my tongue
Before my final bell is rung
May the rivers rinse the blood from my hands
And I hope my momma understands
I didn't mean to hurt no man
I didn't mean to lay him out on the land
So bless this body full of holes
And may the Lord have mercy on this soul

You should've seen it coming
You should've stayed out of my way

I didn't come here to hurt no one, no
But get out of my way or get under my boot
I didn't come here to slay no sons, no
But I'll cut you off at the root

I heard you've got something to say to me?
My left ear's burning up
I heard you've been pointing fingers?
I'll sew your mouth shut
They told me tales about your charity
Folks lay leaves at your feet
Still, you wear no crown of thorns
Do you know how to bleed?

You should've seen it coming
Should've stayed out of my way

Nailed up like a saviour again
Did you squeeze out more forgiveness then?
Keep yourself deaf to the truth
Call it right 'til it soothes

I'll cut you down
You knew I would
Get off the cross
We need the wood
