[Lyric] Chalk (Benjamin Torrens)

[Verse 1]
You spoke
But the words were stuck behind great walls of smoke
A bloody hand came out on my neck it choked
But I listened anyway
'Cause I had nothing else to say

[Verse 2]
So let's talk, huh
But hold on for me to do my lines of chalk
'Cause the storyline is twisted and so dark
But I'm like an animal
'Cause I have nowhere else to go

[Chorus]
And I'm no stranger to the lonely road that's long
As ever as it is narrow
Oh, and I will bite my tongue until it bleeds and says nothing

[Post-Chorus]
Why do ya cry so loud?
When I'm beside you with
A blanket and a fire
Don't go your own way
I'll be the painter
That hangs you up on My gallery
[Verse 3]
But you say
That your back is mine so why not break it anyway?
And I yearn for when I come into that sacred space
Where my legs aren't tangled and I'm free
And I'm free, and I'm free, and I'm free

[Chorus]
Oh, and I'm no stranger to the lonely road that's long
As ever as it is narrow
Oh, and I will bite my tongue until it bleeds
And says nothing

[Post-Chorus]
Why do ya cry so loud?
When I'm beside you with
A blanket and a fire
Don't go your own way
I'll be the painter
That hangs you up on My gallery
