Lyrics

[00:10.63] I watch the work of my kin bold and boyful,
[00:15.90] Toying somewhere between love and abuse,
[00:20.98] Calling to join them the wretched and joyful,
[00:26.03] Shaking the wings of their terrible youths,
[00:31.28] Freshly dissolved in some frozen devotion,
[00:36.42] No more alone or myself could I be,
[00:41.46] Looks like a strain to the arms that were open,
[00:46.47] No shortage of sordid, no protest from me.
[00:50.99] With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean,
[00:56.12] She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene,
[01:01.32] With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
[01:06.39] She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
[01:12.37] Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh, I
[01:17.15] Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet,
[01:22.32] Fresh from the fields, all feeder and fertile,
[01:27.30] It's bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet.
[01:31.99] With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean,
[01:37.08] She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene,
[01:42.07] With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
[01:47.21] She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
[02:30.90] In listless confusion, I'll wander the concrete,
[02:36.01] Wonder if better now having survived.
[02:40.99] Jarring of judgement and reasons defeat
[02:45.27] The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive.
[02:50.54] With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean,
[02:55.50] She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene,
[03:00.49] With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
[03:05.52] She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
[03:10.69] With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean,
[03:15.92] She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene,
[03:20.74] With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
[03:25.72] She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
