Lyrics

Out With the Old
(Tani)

I see my burning bridges
My hand burst into flame
I seek the cool, cool water
As my ship sails out of frame

Our bloody lips. Our bleeding heart
Call out the ghosts by name
And check them off some master list
As my ship sails out of frame

Out with the old –In with the new
Out with the old –In with the new
I press against the window
So my skin can feel the view
Out with the old –In with the new

Crack this lacquer box and breath
The blackened scent of sin
From where we swore we’d never tread
Yet found ourselves within

Our jaundiced eye. Our bitten tongue
The blind. The mute. The lame.
What tortures me now calls to you
As my ship sails out of frame

Out with the old –In with the new
Out with the old –In with the new
I press against the window
So my skin can feel the view
Out with the old –In with the new
