Lyrics Bow - Julie Christmas

Bow

«No faith», you say
When your skin has turned to shade
Shirt pocket holes from faded days
All you failures might have looked the other way
Some things always inspire slack — lust of a singular desire
And it’s not because you didn’t ask nicely
It’s because you never ask at all
In sordid rains of filthy gray
Crystalline runs down in your weathered veins
But winter always comes
Do you… think these tragedies in shirt sleeves through
Your hands get hard, and eyes red and wide
The sign says: «lay down just this final time»
Simple you never have been
Blue knuckles blow you back to square one
Just run that slick, black, steel again
And shrug through hopeless skin
«No faith», you say
Should have stripped you from your shame
Bitter lines frame your face
Crystalline runs down in your weathered veins
It’s truly brave
It’s truly brave throughout
It’s truly brave
It’s truly brave throughout
It’s truly brave
It’s truly brave throughout
