Deep Crescents Songtext
von Sheep, Dog & Wolf

Red weight pressing down on my chest
There′s no telling
Where he will hit me next
Deep crescents branding my scalp
From the fingers
Scrabbling to help me

Tear the bastard out by the root
Rip my face off
Probably would if I could
Bruised knuckles beating my brow
My brain buckles
I must remember

I am not the words he's screaming in my ear

I was someone before he was ever here


Red weight pressing down on my chest
There′s no telling
Where he will hit me next
Deep crescents branding my scalp
From the fingers
Scrabbling to help me

Tear the bastard out by the root
Rip my face off
Probably would if I could
Bruised knuckles beating my brow
My brain buckles
I must remember

I know you care
But what if I don't
I know you're here
But what if I′m not

I know you care
But what if I don′t
I know you're here
But what if I′m not


I'm not the violence in my head
You said
We both know that′s not true
I'm you
I hate us too
So fall with me

Crumble push the world away
You say
I′m clawing at my face
I'm waste
Filling space
I know this is not me

Red weight pressing down on my chest
There's no telling
Where he will hit me next
Deep crescents branding my scalp
From the fingers
Scrabbling to help me

Tear the bastard out by the root
Rip my face off
Probably would if I could
Bruised knuckles beating my brow
My brain buckles
I must remember

I am not the words he′s screaming in my ear

I was someone before he was ever here
