Lyrics Shadow of the Scythe - Leather Lung

Shadow of the Scythe

Empty room—Echoes out my name
I don’t wanna play this twisted game
Shattered glass—Right through the vein
I watch the blood run down the drain
Bated breath—Watching every step
Collecting all of the tears I’ve wept
Hollowed eyes—Swathed in black
I feel the blade graze down my back
Slipping from death’s grip for most of my life
I can see my reflection in the edge of the knife
Death dealer—Swing your steel
Causing wounds that will never heal
Crushing bone—Feel it snap
Gnawing limb to escape from your trap
Chemicals—Filling up my head
A frigid numbness is starting to spread
Fingernails—Scratch into my skin
For your touch I am driven to sin…
Driven to sin—Driven to sin
Just below my skin I can feel it writhe
Stepping into the shadow of the scythe
Into the shadow of the scythe
Surrender my soul to feel alive
