"Black Sage" lyrics

Dragging out your despair into the daylight
Well there's safety in the shade of a shadow that you recognise
Still she lingers like a ghost and lies beside you when you can't sleep
Well you plead for her to go and you know she hears you but she won't leave

You can burn all the sage you want, try to smoke her out
But when you're all alone she still speaks out loud

Wading through the past to rescue the remnants but you couldn't save
The best parts of you, that you still wish you never gave away
And though it haunts you that they're gone
Well I know that there will come a time
Where they'll reappear like a ship in the distance
And in an instant you'll realise

The remedy is in the poison
The blessing is in the curse
Cos beauty lies in the broken
And the cracks allow the light through us
And the cracks allow the light through us

(And the cracks allow the light through us)

Well you can burn all the sage you want, try to smoke her out
But when you're all alone she still speaks out loud
Would it be all in vain, would you be too proud
And dare to spit her name out of your mouth

The remedy is in the poison
The blessing is in the curse
The cure is hidden in the sickness
Forgiveness hides inside hurt
The remedy is in the poison
The blessing is in the curse
Cos beauty lies in the broken
And the cracks allow the light through us
And the cracks allow the light through us
And the cracks allow the light through us
