In my lonesome aberration It won't settle with a crowd You're a beast that I was raising That surrounds you like a crown But I need some rapture But I got nothin' to show And my heart ain't broken Won't turn silver to gold In your lonesome advocation You don't meddle with the crown You're a leash that I was twistin' And it wears you like a gown But I need some rapture But I got nothin' to show And my heart ain't broken Won't turn silver to gold Honey won't you break some skin, just let it out I've got a feelin' but it ain't coming down Honey won't you break some bread, just let it crack I'm on the ceiling but you're under glass Honey won't you break some bread, just let it crack I'm on the ceiling, but you're under glass Honey won't you break some skin, just let it out I've got a feelin' and it ain't coming down
