Southern Nightshade Lyrics

Under the southern nightshade
Once was a promise I made
Tied to an endless price paid
I was under the southern nightshade
Blessed with the beauty I'd craved
Left in a soulless pride haze

Even though we firmly yearn
Sure our pain will go unheard
We are still a bleeding bird
Singing out our only word

Help, help, help, help little swallow
Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe through your sorrow
Grieve, grieve, grieve, grieve, you are hollow now

Weep, weep, weep, weep growing willow
You no longer sleep on your pillow
When you're set alight, smoke will billow down

Even though we firmly yearn
Sure our pain will go unheard
We are still a bleeding bird
Singing out our only word

Under the southern nightshade
Once was a lover I laid
Pure with a heart of spun lace
