Hands Like Houses - Starving to Death in the Belly of a Whale lyrics

There's no injection for this
Aching in your lungs, so bite down
But even vipers mind the
Venom lacing their tongues

Puncture wounds and almost no
Colour in our skin
We smashed every vial of the cure
Oh, aren't we vicious when we're
Backed against the wall?
And I wish you just passed me by
And we went about our ways
Instead of this bitter exchange
Of poisonous words

There's no injection for this
Aching in your lungs, so bite down
But even vipers mind the
Venom lacing their tongues

If the sting would tear you
Tear you inside out
Wouldn't it be worth just holding it in
Holding it inside?
If the sting would tear you
Tear you inside out
Wouldn't it be worth just holding it in
Holding it inside?

Revenge should be honey on our tongues
But it's turned to ash in our mouths
And empty out the hives
Of our honeycomb lungs
Don't we all want to be left alone?
Don't we all want to be left alone?

There's no injection for this
Aching in your lungs, so bite down
But even vipers mind the
Venom lacing their tongues
