lyrics

blisters on your fingers
a chain around your neck
you say you are a stranger here
that you'd like to make a bet
a call to all the ancients
to reckon with your plea
but you bide your time
and you change your mind
every time you breathe

you're the white whale
you're the white whale
the white whale
but this is not the sea

you come where you're not welcome
you leave when you are through
ripped to shreds and seeing red
i'm gonna follow you
if I'm blinded by the darkness
dizzy from the cold
your empty threats and unsettled debts
will fall behind my sword


strewn across the pages
like ashes on the wind
making up excuses
plant your feet now
go ahead and swing
