Wakeblood

Wakeblood Wakeblood I wore my pulse like a hidden bruise Black and blue where nobody knew Learned to move with a vacant face Like a live wire sealed in a frozen place I called the numbness discipline Let the dead air settle in Held my breath till the room went thin Just to keep the dark from getting in Then the glass in me gave way And the red came back again Wakeblood Kick the dark out of my chest Put a pulse back in my ribs I was quiet, I was numb Now the silence comes undone Wakeblood Put a throat back in my scream Put my name back in my mouth I was buried, not beyond Wakeblood Wakeblood Bring me on Every mirror cut me wrong Showed a mouth that forgot its song Hands so still they could pass for stone Heart kicked once like a fault below I kept low where the light gets lost Paid in sleep for whatever it cost Built a grave out of shutting down Now the whole thing shakes beneath the ground Hear the black inside me split Hear the lock give up its grip Wakeblood Kick the dark out of my chest Put a pulse back in my ribs I was quiet, I was numb Now the silence comes undone Wakeblood Put a throat back in my scream Put my name back in my mouth I was buried, not beyond Wakeblood Wakeblood Bring me on No halo No heaven No white flag in my lungs No clean cut resurrection Just the dead weight coming off No savior No mercy No hand pulling me through Just the part they swore was finished Coming back to life in full Wakeblood Wakeblood Wakeblood Wakeblood Kick the dark out of my chest Put a pulse back in my ribs I was quiet, I was numb Now the silence comes undone Wakeblood Put a throat back in my scream Put my name back in my mouth I was buried, not beyond Wakeblood Wakeblood Bring me on Wakeblood Wakeblood Bring me on
