SLUDGE - SPINE (One Last Line.)

Описание: Every now and then, we do a song that just feels and hits different. This is one of those songs.
[Intro]
You trace my back
Count every knot
Say, "Something cracked"
I say, "A lot"

[Verse 1]
Scars in a straight line
Bookmarks down my back
Every vertebrae a headline
Of every time I cracked
You read me like an X-ray
Cold light, quiet shame
"You been carrying an earthquake"
Yeah, I gave it my name

Feel the click in the middle
Where I bent and I stayed
Turned my backbone to a riddle
All these numbers engraved
Every pinch, every needle
Was a promise I broke
Turned my posture into prayer
Till the cartilage spoke

[Chorus]
Spine
I’ve been hanging from my
Spine
Every secret in a
Line
Pull the cord, I come
Undone, undone
Spine
You can hear it when I
Cry
Little splinters when I
Lie
You keep holding me in
One
Thin
Line

[Verse 2]
You run a finger down the fault
Count the fractures like a rosary
Say, "You call this all your fault"
I say, "It’s just anatomy"
Every disc another debt
Every curve another deal
I keep interest in my neck
Till I can’t afford to feel

I was chewing on the pressure
Grinding daylight into dust
Let the weight become a gesture
Of a very quiet trust
Now my stance is a confession
How I folded into shape
Turned my skeleton to lesson
Just to give this hurt a place

[Chorus]
Spine
I’ve been hanging from my
Spine
Every secret in a
Line
Pull the cord, I come
Undone, undone
Spine
You can hear it when I
Cry
Little splinters when I
Lie
You keep holding me in
One
Thin
Line

[Bridge]
If I twist, do I break?
If I stand, do I shake? (yeah)
If I shed this whole frame
Would I still have a name?

If I snap in your hands
Will you scatter my plans?
Or stack every piece
Till my back can release?

[Chorus]
Spine
I’ve been hanging from my
Spine
Every secret in a
Line
Pull the cord, I come
Undone, undone
Spine
You can hear it when I
Cry
Little splinters when I
Die
You keep holding me in
One
Last
Line
