lyrics

I ate a baby porcupine
It’s growing through my skin
Bitterness is moldy
Blankets that I've wrapped myself in
I let it in my lungs
I lit it in my lungs
I let it in my lungs
I lit it in my lungs

I drank it down like water
It seems I've walked so far
It went in sweet like raisins
Now it burns hot like sulfur
I breathe it like a smoking gun
I breathe it like a smoking gun
I breathe it like a smoking gun
I breathe it like a smoking gun

I don’t blame myself
But there’s no denying that my skin has changed
I don’t blame myself
Quick as a match I realize that I’m opposite
I don’t blame myself
When really the change has been slow as winter comes to spring
I don’t blame myself
It’s reality, my skin has changed opposite shades

You paint the morning across my chest
Deep breaths like water baptize
My head like a brush across my skin
And I said I’d always let you in
I’ll breathe you like the burning sun
I’ll breathe you like the burning sun
I’ll breathe you like the burning sun
Cause you breathe in me not like anyone

You breathe in me not like anyone
You breathe in me not like anyone
You breathe in me not like anyone
I’ll breathe you in like the burning sun
