Sister Shotgun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They rattle with the emptiness so hollow
It haunts me. It crawls beneath my skin
It breaks the surface just to watch me bleed again
Kill the lights
Now the void is growing
Face the tide
This vessel, collapsing in my grief.
The chamber of my spirit close to breaking
It kills me, it claws inside my brain
Jaded memories are all that now remain.
Pulled from the wreckage, we won't surrender. Let this light consume us. we are an ocean, we will not falter.
In this life we will conquer and we shall not fall.
We will call to arms
