lyrics

I thought the bet was fixed
I thought the bet was fixed
I fought for the best bits
I fought
No heat on my breath
Betrays ice in my chest
My mind as tight
As the skin of the drum I am beating

It goes on
An unwanted smudge on the heel of my hand
Everyone understands
No one can give it name
But I can

So sharp I can barely walk
So sharp I can barely walk
I sing; I cannot bear to talk
I sing
This road unknown to me
If your face I see there
I'll drown it
In all the despair I carry

In my voice
An unwanted smudge of on the heel of my hand
Everyone understands
No one can give it name
But I can

Oooooooooooh oooooooooh

And as I'm dreaming, I feel you breathing (repeat to end)
