lyrics
From the belly of the beast
Comes release, comes release
For above is in the mud
And the hole has done been dug
The drug, the drug, the drug is in the blood
In the crux of the arm
There lies harm, there lies harm
For above is in the mud
And the hole has done been dug
The drug, the drug, the drug is in the blood
Kill my sadness, kill my strife
Kill what clutters up my life
All my failings, all my fears
Strewn like stones across the years
Obliterate my very being
Eclipse everything I’ve seen
All I’ve ever lost and loved
The drug, the drug is in the blood
The drug, the drug, the drug is in the blood
Soon with a queasy quickness
Comes such sickness
For above is in the mud
And the hole has done been dug
The drug, the drug, the drug is in the blood
The drug, the drug, the drug is in the blood
Comes release, comes release
For above is in the mud
And the hole has done been dug
The drug, the drug, the drug is in the blood
In the crux of the arm
There lies harm, there lies harm
For above is in the mud
And the hole has done been dug
The drug, the drug, the drug is in the blood
Kill my sadness, kill my strife
Kill what clutters up my life
All my failings, all my fears
Strewn like stones across the years
Obliterate my very being
Eclipse everything I’ve seen
All I’ve ever lost and loved
The drug, the drug is in the blood
The drug, the drug, the drug is in the blood
Soon with a queasy quickness
Comes such sickness
For above is in the mud
And the hole has done been dug
The drug, the drug, the drug is in the blood
The drug, the drug, the drug is in the blood
