Wall of Sound: Milk and Lead

Milk and Lead

Hanging from the handle
Rambled to shambles
Cranium scrambled
Seasoned with gunpowder
Here come the harsh lights
Crawl into the harsh lights

Faces white on white
Sight devours all as ours
Messengers, don’t leave us in this way…

(Chorus)
Hold your head
Milk and lead
Dead and heavy coming around

Morning the morning
Stabbed like the shore
Hastily wasted
Throwing out the chum line
Here come the black eyes
Crawl into the black eyes

Fearful and waiting
Taking pull per stroke
A skull flowerpot
Birth a blossom of smoke
Here come the black eyes
Swim deep into the black eyes

And if I might
Hold a life right as it fades
Messengers, don’t leave me in this way
Messengers, don’t leave us in this way

(Repeat chorus)

Dead and heavy coming around
Dead and heavy coming around
Dead and heavy coming around
Dead and heavy coming around
