lyrics

Who will join me in this wake?
Embrace my sin, then watch me break
I've fought the tide
I've challenged fate
(There's no escape)
The darkest dreams still bind me
Choke each word; hope never finds me
This place is not my home
(It's all I've ever known)

But it's not home
I can't let go

(Oh oh oh oh)
Black thorns at the edge of every thought
(Oh oh oh oh)
It's in the blood
It's in the blood

Again this heart slips from my hold
Obsessively I crave control
I once knew peace
You took it all
(You left me war)
In sorrow's haze you claim me
Stoke my fire, then suffocate me
This face is not my own
(It's all I've ever known)

I can feel your pulse; it's thunderous to me
Like a starless night it's all consuming
Disappear, we'll taste the sky
Trace my lips along your thigh,
You're mine.

(Oh oh oh oh)
Black thorns at the edge of every thought
(Oh oh oh oh)
It's in the blood
It's in the blood

(Oh oh oh oh)
Black thorns at the edge of every thought
(Oh oh oh oh)
It can't be stopped
It can't be stopped

This is all I've ever known
A long and lonely road
Searching for a place to call home
This is all I've ever known
In silence, oh so cold,
Endlessly, I'm searching for a face of my own

(Oh oh oh oh)
Black thorns at the edge of every thought
(Oh oh oh oh)
It's in the blood
It's in the blood

(Oh oh oh oh)
Black thorns at the edge of every thought
(Oh oh oh oh)
It can't be stopped
It can't be stopped
