Mouth of the South - Hollow Veins lyrics

rate me

I know this has come back to me

I opened the doors that have led me here

Face to face with the devil

I've been fightin' these demons for the last few years

I've grown weary, struck down & worn out

Turn the page once more, I placed myself here

I let them lead me to the slaughter

Step by step into this livin' hell

I let them slide the noose around my neck

When they chained me I sat still

Dancin' with the devil I am plagued with disease

Fill my veins with your blood, spark my pulse into a beat

Purge this poison from my veins

I’m callin' them out, every demon that I’ve faced

Every devil that’s held me down

I’ll spew you because

I’m tired of bein' warm & my home is not this storm

I’m through with you, no more darkness, no more shame

Turn on the lights, give them no place to remain

Your hold on me is no longer here

Have you forgotten that I dwell in the depths of your dark & filthy heart?

I did not merely force my way in, I found an open door

I left & came back to discover your hollow veins

So I made my home

I know everythin' about you, I know everythin' about you

I know your secrets & the things you do when you think you’re alone

I live in the shadows you create

You’ve made this place into my home

I let them lead me to the slaughter

Step by step into this livin' hell

But as I cry out to my Father, my strength begins to swell

Your lies are replaced with the truth

This heart was never mine to give

I may have opened the doors but now I choose to live

Dancin' with the devil I’ve been plagued with disease

You’ve filled my veins with your blood, sparked my pulse into a beat

Bind the host, shine your light, give them no places to hide

Go to hell, dark passenger, back to where you came from

Go to hell, dark passenger

I stand with heaven as a child of the king

Go to hell!!!
