Pale Saints - Special Present Lyrics

Thought you’d given me a special present A thing to have and hold And keep forever When the smoke had cleared The thing you left there Wasn’t a gift at all You tricked me It stripped me bare It stripped me bare Painted(? ) all your rooms With laughs and fanfare You stealed yourself away To cover the reasons Once the latch came off Your vision escaped you You faltered and you failed It gripped you It tripped you up again You fell again Take it with you Take it back and let me breathe I push your sickness away from me It feels my senses built a wall that I can’t see I will your curse away from me Rub your insides raw Reaching for insight Arrest your every pore And charge it with treason Oh let the ill infect Your best intentions A legacy of sores to bleed forever To bleed forever To bleed forever To bleed forever They’ll bleed forever Pale Saints Lyrics Special Present Lyrics
