"Bigger By The Pound" lyrics

I walk like the laws lie
Shadows scared of my light
They hunger for the crown
Then starve tomorrow of old sounds
Growin' gold in my veins
Mercury in my brain
Still I shake heavy chains
And smile a mile right through the strain

You want salvation, that costs sweat
You want freedom, you ain't paid yet
You've been dragging their crosses around

More to the ounce and bigger by the pound
This ain't a weight you can just put down

Met a witch who saved her cries
To drown the sun in goodbyes
Then the spell fell out of her mouth
"You got that fire but you're burnin' out"
Then she poured into me
A flame that can't be free
Now the sun pounds on my back
Remindin' me to face the facts, yeah

You want salvation, that costs sweat
You want freedom, you ain't paid yet, no

More to the ounce and bigger by the pound
This ain't a weight you can just put down

I will follow you through blackened blindness
Give me your glow and I'll get you back, yeah

More to the ounce and bigger by the pound
The truth ain't light when it comes around
