Nettle – Lyrics

save your meat
for some sweet young lost gamine
buy your soul
then trade the stocks for cheap
big stakes don’t break
suck it in I can’t wait
this never was your way
you always leave a mark that won’t fade
shed your flicker form
break it down
how much will it take
to suck the nettle out
don’t spill the lies
let it leak—got to make it last
drop your bomb
just to make a bigger splash
shift down, shook down
push to watch it break
this always was your way
these blisters never fade
never go away
shed your flicker form
break it down
how much will it take
to suck the nettle out
and where your chances lay
stiff and splintered on the ground
I have just begun
to tear you down
