Until lyrics

Keep it like a secret Safe and warm Lock it in the cellar Nesting in the shadows of your heart Feathers bright and yellow Until you cough it up Until you rip it from your chest Until you cough it up Keep it like a secret Fearing dawn with clenching jaws Animal eyes and ruthless claws Following but a trail of birds Following but the scent of stones Feels like a gunshot through the spine Digs like the hunger you left unsatisfied Homeless, unwelcome, we abide I'm just the echo Until you cough it up
