Runt King

Lyrics: Skin and ribs Tiny heart, still fighting He came in a runt All claws and bones No milk, no heat Just shaking alone I watched him fucking fade Like a candle in rain Little dead weight Still purring in pain I fed that ghost With my hands and wrath Swore if he lived I’d stay on my goddamn path Now he bites my sleeve When the dark gets bold Tiny war machine With a furnace soul He drags me up By the fucking throat, by the fucking nerve My little grey and white saint My curse and my cure You save my life You save my life My whole damn world You save my life You save my life You eat my shit grief You kill the night You save my FUCKING life When the pit gets deep And the room goes cold He jumps on my chest Like he knows, like he knows Paws on my face Saying move, GET THE FUCK UP No room for death In his vicious love He stalks my sadness Like prey in the flood One look from him And I remember my blood Now he bites my sleeve When the dark gets bold Tiny war machine With a furnace soul He drags me up By the fucking throat, by the fucking nerve My little grey and white saint My curse and my cure Almost dead Now he’s divine Runt turned king He owns my mind No hunger now No fucking grave, no fucking cage My tiny beast Spits in the face of the fucking grave You save my life You save my life My whole damn world You save my life You save my life You eat my shit grief You kill the night You save my FUCKING life If I fucking fall He’ll find me first Little grey and white guard Breaking my fucking curse My everything My feral light My runt king You save my fucking life
