Lyrics:

Dried out bones are sun-bleached//
Bite down on my tongue please//
Limestone in my gums//
Teeth dissolve in an instant//
Stomach walls corroded//
Not that you would notice//
Not that you would notice//
Notice//

You make me sick//
Sick//
You make me sick//
You make me sick//

Dried out bones are sun-bleached//
Bite down on my tongue please//
Limestone in my gums//
Teeth dissolve in an instant//
Stomach walls corroded//
Not that you would notice//
Not that you would notice//
Notice//

You make me sick//
Sick//
You make me sick//
You make me sick//

You didn't recognise my face in the courtroom//
I'm the one you paid to run your sword through//
It's okay//
Skim the pages just to sort through//
Swear I'd love to pin the blame but can't afford to//
Caught me finished raiding the fortune//
Now I look as pale as a corpse do//
I'm the one who drove the nail in the horseshoe//
I'm the one who drove the nail in the-//
I'm the one who drove the nail in the horseshoe//
You make me sick.
I'm the one who drove the nail in the horseshoe//
Horseshoe// (You make me sick.)
I'm the one who drove the nail in the horseshoe// (You make me sick.)
I'm the one who drove the nail in the horseshoe//
Horseshoe//

“Bent the metal for your protection”//
Told that lie for the jockey//
God knows our bones are artifacts so men mine for our bodies//
I soften the blow of the kill shot to help with the guilt but the method’s sloppy//
It’s blackmail, threaten and lobby//
On my knees I beg you stop me//
I’m not built for these heights//
Statue still under pillars//
Catching filth in your eyes//
Swear it hurts me more than you when I make you squeal for your life//
Is this that the hill that you’ll die on?//

I fuse steel to the keratin//
I could shield you from anything that bruises//
In the field that you’ll perish in//
Kick my heel where you’ve already been wounded//
They keeled and I buried them//
If they healed then the medicine’s useless//
I’m as ill as I’ve ever been//
I’m as ill as I’ve ever been//

Deep Breath//
Hand to throat//
Steal both the venom and the antidote//
Deal death, annex, poach//
Panic, choke//
I'm frantic//
FRANTIC//
Brittle jaw//
Fickle plans//
Cut out a pound of flesh with the middle man//
Admit I'm wrong?//
Little chance//
Panic, choke//
I'm damaged//

You didn't recognise my face in the courtroom//
I'm the one you paid to run your sword through//
It's okay//
Skim the pages just to sort through//
Swear I'd love to pin the blame but can't afford to//
Caught me finished raiding the fortune//
Now I look as pale as a corpse do//
I'm the one who drove the nail in the horseshoe//
I'm the one who drove the nail in the-//
