lyrics

I’ve got two tongues in my mouth;
one is forked so the other is twisted.
There’s a stranger hiding in this house.
A little suffering will get me addicted.

We were separated at birth, ten years apart.
I found home in a whirlwind of a heart.
I found solace in a soul that swallows cold
and spits out sarcasm that turns into gold.

When the levee breaks I’ll go back again,
teetering on the edge of what it seems like the end.
Don’t pull me back from the edge, my friend.
Let me inhale the darkness and we’ll transcend.

We’ll transcend.

We were separated at birth, ten years apart.
I found home in a whirlwind of a heart.
I found solace in a soul that swallows the moon
and fed me distrust inside my cocoon.

It’s one thing to be inspired and another to imitate.
I can worry all I like but either way it’s too late.

In one ear and out my lips, my words are tainted.
You’ve saved and sullied me with pictures that you’ve painted.
Where do I draw the line
between you and I?

I’ve got two tongues in my mouth;
one is forked so the other is twisted.
There’s a stranger hiding in this house.
A little suffering will get me addicted.
