Despite the Crook
To the spirit I was visiting
I couldn't get near it
To the fear that he elicited
Saying look in the mirror
To the dreams I walked out of
Couldn't tell them apart
To the scar over my throat
In the shape of a heart
To the pale green things
That are born in the dark
Despite the crook
And all he took
I am still healing
Despite the crook
And all he took
I am still healing
Pour the spirits in the wounds
Where you've been opened by violence
You can hold it at a distance
But you can't hold the silence
Do you wanna get lucky
Or do you wanna grow old
Will you turn the earth fertile
When your ashes are poured
To the pale green things
That survive in the cold
Somebody's calling my name in the dark
A stranger's begging me just to hold on
Nobody's holding the knife anymore
Even if I still feel it
Just to spite the crook
And all he took
I am still healing, I am
I am, despite the crook
And all he took
I am still healing
And when I come back I'm gonna cut my hair
When I come back I'm gonna cut my hair
Gonna talk into the mirror
And I'm gonna believe it
When I come back I'm gonna cut my hair
When I come back I'm gonna cut my hair
Gonna talk into the mirror
And I'm gonna believe it
Despite the crook
And all he took
I am still healing
I couldn't get near it
To the fear that he elicited
Saying look in the mirror
To the dreams I walked out of
Couldn't tell them apart
To the scar over my throat
In the shape of a heart
To the pale green things
That are born in the dark
Despite the crook
And all he took
I am still healing
Despite the crook
And all he took
I am still healing
Pour the spirits in the wounds
Where you've been opened by violence
You can hold it at a distance
But you can't hold the silence
Do you wanna get lucky
Or do you wanna grow old
Will you turn the earth fertile
When your ashes are poured
To the pale green things
That survive in the cold
Somebody's calling my name in the dark
A stranger's begging me just to hold on
Nobody's holding the knife anymore
Even if I still feel it
Just to spite the crook
And all he took
I am still healing, I am
I am, despite the crook
And all he took
I am still healing
And when I come back I'm gonna cut my hair
When I come back I'm gonna cut my hair
Gonna talk into the mirror
And I'm gonna believe it
When I come back I'm gonna cut my hair
When I come back I'm gonna cut my hair
Gonna talk into the mirror
And I'm gonna believe it
Despite the crook
And all he took
I am still healing
