lyrics

GASLIGHT CATARACT

got ashes in my teeth splinters six miles deep
tin man strong and I walked my miles alone
nails black as night hair pale turned white
the right hand of god don’t give them no right

wood planks at the company store sing my name known
every time I set foot they take everything I own
rib cage collapses my car untangles it’s threads
every time my life slips I s see numbers in my head
every kind of evil every kind of wrong
means one more trip in this god damned hole
lord what you done to me
I might just bleed black if this dust would let me be
it might just be my fault if heaven please

lord ain’t give me nothing save for a back to break in this heat

my fingers is strong tendon pulled like tight twine
and my day is long my bloodstream’s filled with coal
back arched spine coughed wood stained with black grain
is all I can see through this gaslight cataract

you held me together wood bones and paraffin wax
put my hopes in a box sealed by this coal dust heart attack
rail car pulls up to sun down past arms chain linked under ground
my day ain’t my own I live on lease
means one more day in this god damned hole
lord what you done to me
might just bleed black if this dust will let me be
might just be my fault if heaven do please
