Starving to Death in the Belly of a Whale

[Hook] There's no injection for this aching in your lungs, so bite down But even vipers mind the venom lacing their tongues [Verse 1] Puncture wounds and almost no colour in our skin We smashed every vial of the cure Oh, aren't we vicious when we're backed against the wall? And I wish you just passed me by and we went about our ways Instead of this bitter exchange of poisonous words [Hook] There's no injection for this aching in your lungs, so bite down But even vipers mind the venom lacing their tongues [Bridge] If the sting would tear you, tear you inside out Wouldn't it be worth just holding it in, holding it inside? If the sting would tear you, tear you inside out Wouldn't it be worth just holding it in, holding it inside? [Verse 2] Revenge should be honey on our tongues But it's turned to ash in our mouths And empty out the hives of our honeycomb lungs Don't we all want to be left alone? Don't we all want to be left alone? [Hook] There's no injection for this aching in your lungs, so bite down But even vipers mind the venom lacing their tongues
