Heart-Shaped Thorn Lyrics

Don't need your help

Yeah

We all scream it breathlessly

She said my blood tastes something like the rest of me

The banker locks the apparitions in

The politician points the finger of innocence

The choir man hums the hymn but ain't listening

It's all I've got to give and I'm giving it

Now the spray paints dripping on that furniture

Earth revolves leaving worlds upturned

Like straw we burn

We live, they learn

But we all live like we're living for somebody else

They kick their feet up while we bend a knee

But one day we will stand where the dust has fell

Thorns

Thorns

They cut them out their recipe

Line up

Afraid to face the penalties

Blood red

Petals kept up chemically

She said my blood tastes something like the rest of me

They say they love us

But we're just the air they breathe

Strong reminders of superiority

She takes them all for as long as I keep giving them

But you can't play God til you snip the tongues

And the self righteous fall when the wicked come

Propped up

My scars just symbolic of your power march

I'm just assurance of how motherfucking proud you are

You know control's always been the finest luxury

So y'all sit and scold from your lifted thrones

In the palms of the hands of those underneath like

Thorns

Thorns

We cut them out the recipe

Line up

Afraid to face the penalties

Revolt

We take away their weaponry

She said their blood tastes something like an enemy's

I don't wanna be another picture on your wall

We all got knees, and kings can crawl

Got the finest Venice mirror

Let me gather all the shards you use to see your own godliness

Now see it all fall

Domesticated savages and revolution activists

The institutions choking on the breaths that they was laughing with

The Vaccutainers smashed

We give

You take

We live

Too late

Still got thorns though

Bout time that we take back some shit

Thorns

Thorns

We toss em in their recipe

Line up

Prepared to face the penalties

Fists raised

Defiance is the melody

I think her blood tastes something like a remedy
