[Verse 1]
Hold me like a child
In your warm, warm arms
Whisper parables
Keep me safe from harm
[Chorus 1]
Oh, my sagging skin
Oh, my burning sky
I will close my eyes (x2)
[Verse 2]
There was laughter once
There were pretty songs
Pull the metal shards
Thin my clotted blood
[Chorus 2]
Oh, my rotted skin
Oh, my burning sky
I will close my eyes (x2)
[Instrumental]
[Outro](x3)
Oh, the jaws of life
