Branch Creaks

from Turn Up The Dark by David Backshell

/

lyrics

Moon lights breaking down through the trees
Combing the leaves shaking the whispers free
Over the Breeze they come calling to me
Peeling the rust from my eyes so I can see
Hold me down and drown me in the rolling tide
Lead me to the light and watch me burn bright
Tie me up and leave for the wolves in the night
And I've got nowhere left to hide

Night comes bleeding down through the streets
The hurt in my chest echoing my heartbeat
I step into sight with salt on my feet
Starlight in my eyes and I can hardly see

Hold me down and drown me in the rolling tide
Lead me to the light and watch me burn bright
Tie me up and leave for the wolves in the night
And I've got nowhere left to hide
Waking up with the heavens pressing on my chest
Night screaming hell don't give no rest
And my glass jaw's been talking to me
And I can hear the branch creak

Hold me down and drown me in the rolling tide
Lead me to the light and watch me burn bright
Tie me up and leave for the wolves in the night
And I've got nowhere left to hide
Waking up with the heavens pressing on my chest
Night screaming hell don't give no rest
And my glass jaw's been talking to me
And I can hear the branch creak
