King of Nails lyrics

[Verse 1]
The toothless kiss of skeletons
And summer hail
I'm the king of nails
I drink my liquor from the palm
Of a child who spoke in tongues
And smelled like sun

[Chorus]
Keep all your leaves
The ghosts in the trees
To sink or to shine
The nails are all mine

[Verse 2]
And blood was rushing up the stairs
I shut my eyes and killed the c*ck
When the sun came knocking
Oh, to taste the salty oil
Of your chest and on your eyes
When the sting is on the rise

[Chorus]
Sleep in the fire
With snakes I have sired
To sink or to shine
The nails are all mine
[Verse 3]
I drink my liquor from the palm
Of a child who smelled like sun
And spoke in tongues
The toothless kiss of skeletons
And summer hail
I'm the king of nails

[Chorus]
Keep all your leaves
The ghosts in the trees
To sink or to shine
The nails are all mine
Sleep in the fire
With snakes I have sired
To sink or to shine
The nails are all mine
