Tenterhooks
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.
Waste my time and suffer this
Weight of envy weak in bliss
All strung out under these eyes
Captive by my own device
Heaven speaks a different tongue
Yours is silver and undone
Taste like sulphur and of soot
Hanging by these tenterhooks
Drag me up from under dust
Shake me wake me up
To just pull me back under
My wishful thinking
Head on a plate for a stranger
I've said too much
I'm rolling in sickness
I dragged you up into this lust
We must face the thunder
You can't see the woods for the trees
You can't see the woods for the trees
The bitch was all over me
You got me hanging by tenterhooks
You got me hanging by tenterhooks
Leave your scars I want you to
Creep the lines the edge of you
I will beg for what you took
Hanging by these tenterhooks
Drag me up from under dust
Shake me wake me up
To just pull me back under
My wishful thinking
Head on a plate for a stranger
I've said too much
I'm rolling in sickness
I dragged you up into this lust
We must face the thunder
You can't see the woods for the trees
You can't see the woods for the trees
The bitch was all over me
You got me hanging by tenterhooks
You got me hanging by tenterhooks
