"Holy Water" lyrics

"Holy Water"

Cut my anaesthesia
The drip drilled in my vein
'Cause it's just my luck, any drug that numbs
Alerts another nerve to pain

Bury my past aversion
Roving as the fool
As it hardens and seeps, in the slender and deep
Cemented like a cardinal rule

And a lash is a tool
For the uncut jewel's maledict commonality
With this unexciting pissing and moaning
Here's where you sink teeth

And I've been up
I've been knocked down
The gash that bleeds
Unleash a gush, a sudden stream
Emitted discharge from the clouds

One night, we slit an opening
The drops that hit my tongue
Tasted like a bunny in a winter scenery
Gliding on a frozen pond

I'm a bee, and I'm jammed
By my stinger in you
It is home, it is death
It's forever and new
My abdomen is ripped
And the innards are spilling
Save the knife in her hand

And I've been up
I've been knocked down
The gash that bleeds
Unleash a gush, a sudden stream
Emitted discharge from the clouds

Your holy water, holy water
Flows in spades, it flows in spades
Through leaden pipes, through leaden pipes
Down the drain, beneath the streets

Your holy water, holy water
Flows in spades, it flows in spades
Through leaden pipes, through leaden pipes
Down the drain, beneath the streets
