Several Sins Lyrics

    This is a dead letter tale
    If i could make this print talk
    You made a deep mark/deep mark on me
    And only saints say such things as these
    So i slid under the floor
    Under the oak and the iron
    With you under oak and iron
    Under the thick and under the thin
    Where only fire grows...

    I forgot to tell you several things - ma
    I forgot to tell you several things - ma
    I forgot to tell you several things - ma
    I forgot to tell you 'bout the 7 sins

    And i spat dead letter words
    And all the breath that i own
    Imprinted one word in red/i read
    And only saints say such things as these
    About the marks on your throat
    Under the oak and the iron
    Under the fat and the thick and the thin
    And all of that, and a few 100 more
    And only fire grow
    I heard the fire grow
    Alone in the...

    I forgot to tell you several things - ma
    I forgot to tell you several things - ma
    I forgot to tell you several things - ma
    I forgot to tell you 'bout the 7 sins
    [repeat to end]
