lyrics

Sticky fingers on your spine

Holding on to the future left behind
Still got some kicks in your left leg
Skin to the bone
You were born black
You were bred
To be sad
You were never alive
Like at the moment when you left it all behind
Took your first step
On the left hand path
Took several more
Now there's no coming back

No coming back, no coming back
Now there's no coming back

I made my way too close to the sun
One minute I'm up then it's gone
As the wax on my back keeps melting
The ground spreads its arms, accepting

Pull your hood up
As you walk through the door
Cold air on your face
But you don't care anymore
Could have been better
Or a lot worse
Black soles never slip
You dived in head first
Drowned a few shots
Until you saw the cracks
Twenty stories high
The heights they'll never get
Stopped counting the bullets
That you bit back
Faded as the mornings
But your skin's red

Why your skin's red
Tell me why your skin's red
Why won't you tell me
Why your skin's red?

I made my way too close to the sun
One minute I'm up then it's gone
As the wax on my back keeps melting
The ground spreads its arms
