The Forge

I finally found a place where I can breathe
It's been difficult to see straight
Pitch black and silence
Broken by my two feet

I could cry all night long
But he'd find me eventually
You've got to learn a lesson about respect in this household

No danger, no fear
No praying mantis in my ear
I've had a lot of time to think about my sins

A break from the barking orders
A punch injected into paper skin
A coarse red leather mark
A boozy spit into my guilty face

Ripped-up daisies for his wife's ripped-up womb
I've apologised a million times over
I long for a grave dirt free mouth
But her blood's in his eyes when he looks at me
(But here there's)

No danger
No fear
No praying mantis in my ear
I've had a lot of time to think about my sins
No danger
No fear
No praying mantis in my ear
I've had a lot of time to think about my sins

Two feet on the bridge over the train tracks
The bee bites itself
The skin on his wings has collapsed, beaten like a dead horse
The bee bites itself

And if I jump
And if I jump
And if I jump
There'd be

No danger
No fear
No praying mantis in my ear
I've had a lot of time to think about my sins
No danger (I've finally found a place)
No fear (where I can breathe)
No praying mantis in my ear (it's pitch black, it's pitch black)
I'd have a lot of time to think about my sins (I'm trying my hardest to be... to take a leap of faith)

No danger, no fear (Ripped-up daisies for his wife's ripped-up womb)
No praying mantis in my ear (I've apologised a million times over)
I'd have a lot of time to think (I long for a grave dirt free mouth)
About my sins (But her blood's in his eyes when he looks at me)
I've finally found a place where I can breathe (Ripped-up daisies for his wife's ripped-up womb)
It's pitch black, it's pitch black (I've apologised a million times over)
I'm trying my hardest to be (I long for a grave dirt free mouth)
To take a leap of faith (But her blood, her blood)
Her blood runs through my veins
