Alkaline Trio In My Stomach Lyrics

In My Stomach Lyrics

In this shadow, I shrink and it knows

I can't move. It is making me
cold.

And it grows in my stomach like mold.

It keeps me just sick
enough to stay home.



Kill the lights. Curtains cover closed
blinds.

Build a wall of stone and steel that will never come down.

Let the dust colonize just like James the first.

There will be no blood
this time.

In silence, I'm yours. Twice dead-bolt the doors.



I've been followed by a face marked with pain.

It came close once and
he just learned my name.

Every day he grows taller, he looks down at my
heart,

and through my throat, he could reach in and pull me apart.



It gets worse when he contacts my eyes.

He can see right through
to everything that blackened my veins

and his sounds resonate up and
down,

like a march through me, this battlefield,

there's just not
much left, so silence the rest.



In this shadow, I shrink and it
knows

I can't move, I can't sleep.

Terrified by my own bloodshot
eyes.



So, I'll wait here and pray.

I prayed that I was all
wrong about prayer.

And I do know that this is truly tired.



It still grows in my stomach like mold.

It keeps me just sick enough to
stay home, all alone.
