[Verse 1] White robe Still smells like the city Ink on your throat Did you think we wouldn't see Bare feet on the stone You shiver at the candles Eyes on the floor While we circle you in sandals [Chorus] You got ash in your veins Not water Rust in your breath Not prayer You came to be remade My daughter But the filth still flowers in there We cut your name from your tongue Left it bleeding on the stair You got ash in your veins Not water And the corruption wants its share [Verse 2] Salt line You step And it breaks Black flies Rise up like praise We press our thumbs Deep into your sternum Waiting for the light And feel something turn Then [Chorus] You got ash in your veins Not water Rust in your breath Not prayer You came to be remade My daughter But the filth still flowers in there We cut your name from your tongue Left it bleeding on the stair You got ash in your veins Not water And the corruption wants its share [Bridge] Kneel in the chalk Hear the hundred hands clapping (hey) They all sound wrong They all sound hollow Gasping We drink you in And choke on metal shavings You cannot drown In what your heart is saving [Chorus] You got ash in your veins Not water Rust in your breath Not prayer You came to be remade My daughter But the stain still sleeps in there We burned your face from the glass But the outline stayed So clear You got ash in your veins Not water And the corruption keeps you here
