The Colour Crawls

[Verse 1] It fell in the field a stain in the seed not red, not gold just wrong in the reed The wells went weak the apples split the cattle stared then quit... then split Mouth full of ash I taste it still a color that crawls up through the hill [Pre-Chorus] S-s-skin on the stone the sky goes thin a hush in the pines lets the dark come in [Chorus] The Colour crawls The Colour crawls (black in the blood) The Colour crawls It bends the bone it breaks the name (we split, we split) and none stay the same [Verse 2] Mother in the door eyes like coal hands on her prayer but prayer turned whole The glass went soft the iron wept the garden sang while the dead door crept I heard it laugh from under the floor a wet little hymn then more... then more [Pre-Chorus] S-s-skin on the stone the sky goes thin a hush in the pines lets the dark come in [Chorus] The Colour crawls The Colour crawls (black in the blood) The Colour crawls It bends the bone it breaks the name (we split, we split) and none stay the same [Bridge] No shape No sun No mercy left Just gleam just ooze just breath... then death [Final Chorus] The Colour crawls The Colour crawls (black in the blood) The Colour crawls It bends the bone it breaks the name (we split, we split) and none stay the same The Colour crawls The Colour crawls (nowhere to run) The Colour crawls
