Midian

[Verse 1] Last bus out of nowhere Ticket stamped in ash Follow all the flyers Pasted to the past Names cut into graveyards Maps burned at the edge Moths around a floodlight Drawn to every death [Pre-Chorus] Are we the scars Or the skin that holds them Are we the crime Or the quiet proof [Chorus] Midian Call my cursed blood home Open up the earth Split bone from bone I am the teeth I am the tattered sin Breathe out my name And let the monsters in Midian Midian [Verse 2] Face behind a mask of Secondhand regret Hands still smelling gasoline From bridges I forget You say “Bring all your broken” Like offerings of glass I kneel inside the crossroads Hear drumming in the black [Pre-Chorus] Are we the wrong Or the words that made it Are we the wound Or the wanting truth [Chorus] Midian Call my cursed blood home Open up the earth Split bone from bone I am the teeth I am the tattered sin Breathe out my name And let the monsters in Midian Midian [Bridge] [Drums rise Low chant under vocal] Circle made of shadows Circle made of shame Every outlaw heartache Given back its name You are not forgiven You are never gone You are something holy That the daylight called “wrong” (oh) [Chorus] Midian Call my cursed blood home Open up the dark Let the lost ones roam I am the teeth I am the tattered sin Breathe out my name And let the monsters in Midian Where the broken belong Midian Where the weak grow strong Midian I am yours I am kin Breathe out my name And let the night begin
