Black Lung - Pridelands

Watching your body twist and tumble

Convulsing on the floor

This chemical possession, is stretching out your jaw

I could get high from the foam on your lips

Let it stick to my brain, like an arachnoid cyst

Most days I wish we could switch bodies or brains

So I could be the one left twitching in my grave

Left paralysed by the bodies in the gutter, I breathe in deeply

Then fall back into myself

It’s not like I’m any better, I hurt myself every day

Ulcers form in my stomach, light is swelling my brain

Digging until I find a better way

They’ve constructed me by cruel design

With hands of frailty and callous minds

Keep me stabilised, sedate me

Curse my body intravenously

Spill the venom til my skin goes white

Spill the serum and watch me writhe

Most days I wish we could switch bodies or brains

So I could be the one left twitching in my grave

Left paralysed by the bodies in the gutter, I breathe in deeply

Then fall back into myself

I wanna sleep until its dark outside
