Envy On The Coast - Tell Them That She's Not Scared lyrics

rate me

I'll hold your tears as a ransom

Within the palm of my hand,

And tell you once again,

Don't tell me that you're scared...

Wake, wake, wake her

From this sea of white linens and

Extract the drugs from her dreams

And sew her seams with delicateness,

'Cause beneath her chest sits the heart that I live for,

You'd kill for,

The angels would die for.

And with a subtle wink and a flutter of wings,

They whispered,

They whispered...

I'll hold your tears as a ransom

Within the palm of my hand

And tell you once again

Don't tell me that you're scared

Alert the sawbones,

Tell them that she's not scared.

She's got an army of saints armed with her prayers.

Wake the angels

Tell them that she's not scared

She won't be taking the next flight out of here.

This is only a test, she said,

Broadcasting from hospital beds.

With a relic in her right hand,

She rushes to the front line,

Stricken by the wounds across her chest.

The angels swear she's blessed with this medical test

That unlocks the gates to the place that we live for

We die for,

I know that she's bound for.

And with a subtle wink and a mother's instinct.

She whispered,

She whispered...

The angels dressed for the wake

But she sent them home.

With a handful of bullet shells.
