Midnight Oil

Who shuck the love from me?

Where is my bravery?

Salt licks crack against your teeth in toils

I feel like seashells, caught your coil

You know me, still burning the midnight oil

Where is the recipe

To being what you always need?

Salt licks crack against my needs in soil

Where is the heart in me?

Skull cracks in a gentle ease

Of knowing what it is to be so free

I feel like seashells, caught your coil

You know me, still burning the midnight oil

I feel like seashells, caught your coil

You know me, still burning the midnight oil

Zephyr hands reaching to another land

Bloodied lambs drip pictures on to sullied sand

Leather bands strip etchings into our worlds back

Just fake a smile, forget

Who shuck the love from me?

Where is my bravery?

Salt licks crack against your teeth in toils

I feel like seashells, caught your coil

You know me, still burning the midnight oil
