Changeling Lyrics

Sometimes I feel like a changeling

There's a spirit in my skin

That comes from the insides of another

That I've never lived in, never lived in

My tongue is dipped in shadow

Wherever I spit darkness comes

I am the opposite of a maker

I am, I am the undone

But sometimes I feel like my mother

Or the mother who came before

Sobs are racking my spine that aren't mine

That aren't yours

I despise crying or sweating

It feels too much like blood

I am crawling down a ladder

I don't recall crawling to the top of

But I used to know a few things

How to do things, how to cry

But now my mind mixes up living and dying

Living and dying, living and

I am bleeding out a family

Who only knows how to lie down

When I see with disgust that our pulses match up

I am met with the shrieking sound of

One foot in one foot out

Skin to skin, climbing down

We're still in, hear me out

One foot in one foot

We will work until this body drops

'til the soul inside shuts up

We have come here to take care of

What we need to take care of

And you, you, you, you are human

You are sleeping, you are blood

We are the air inside your marrow

Shouting to wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up
