Lead Poisoning
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Choking slowly broken hearted
Don't look now here's what you started
And I swore I'd be there 'till the end
We're bitter now but better friends
I climbed out limbless to the ledge
To bask in my last true regrets.
Lay my heavy head here down to sleep
Now pray to a brass fist my soul to keep
Lay my heavy head here down to dream
Wake up with this lead poisoning
Sobbing softly, lost and hollow
This fevered dreams of pill to swallow
And I'd swore I'd be there 'till the end
You're better off your bitterness
I climbed out lifeless to the edge
I waved goodbye and leapt high
Lay my heavy head here down to sleep
Now pray to a brass fist my soul to keep
Lay my heavy head here down to dream
Awaken to the blood and sweat and screams
Woke up here on Monday morning
This old tree on this dark corner
Waiting here for what tomorrow brings
Silver Lake mercury mining
This mistake no silver lining
Waiting for a buller train
To bring me my lead poisoning
My lead poisoning
Lay my heavy head here down to sleep
Now pray to a brass fist my soul to keep
Lay my heavy head here down to dream
Wake up with this lead poisoning
