[Verse 1] I walked through a year of quicksilver nights Every marrow breaking, every silence loud The star cut their message into my skin And I carried them like coins at the mouth of a crowd That is how pain becomes wisdom [Verse 2] (vocalizing) That is how sorrow turns flame (vocalizing) Macabre out, this gospel in fire (vocalizing) And I am sad when it's part of my time Lovers fell through my hands like sand (vocalizing)
