LYRIC FOR SALE

By Shelley violet Smith

Verse 1
Can't be laid to rest
Until you're blessed
Hot bread across your cool chest
Soak up the unspoken sins within
Lick my lips... Devour it
Throw your sticks and stones
To chase me from your home


Pre chorus
I took you in
My body, my sin to carry
Now you can't stand me
You burn what I leave
It's confusing for me


Chorus
I'm the sin eater
Drinking in your deepest secrets
'Cause you couldn't bear to keep them
I'm the outsider
Left in the wreckage
You exclude my presence...
Now you're free to shun me


Verse 2
On the edge of modern living
Guess I'm a pariah
To all you oppose and desire
Whenever it suits... you feed me again
And I'll keep drinking it in
Place your silver within
The palm of my hand


Pre chorus
I took you in
My body, my sin to carry
Now you can't stand me
You burn what I leave
It's confusing for me


Chorus
I'm the sin eater
Drinking in your deepest secrets
'Cause you couldn't bear to keep them
I'm the outsider
Left in the wreckage
You exclude my presence...
Now you're free to shun me... Again


Bridge
The message comes again
My services are needed
I'm hungry for the sin
To feed this loneliness within

Pre chorus
My body, my sin...
It's confusing


Chorus
I'm the sin eater
Drinking in your deepest secrets
'Cause you couldn't bear to keep them
I'm the outsider
Left in the wreckage
You exclude my presence...
Now you're free to shun me... Again



Chorus
I'm the sin eater
I held all your pieces
'Cause you couldn't keep them
I'm the outsider
I could decide to deny ya
This hunger won't die yeah
So I'll take what I find
Let them shun while I hide...
I remain outside
