Omar Rodríguez-López
The Widow (Live Acoustic Version)
[Verse 1]
He's got fasting black lungs
Made of clove splintered shards
They're the kind that will talk
Through a wheezing of coughs

[Bridge 1]
And I hear him every night
In every pore
And every time he just makes me warm

[Hook 1]
Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Must I hide?
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone

[Verse 2]
Look at how they flock to him
From an ile of open sores
He knows that the taste is such
Such to die for

[Bridge 2]
And I hear him every night
On every street
The scales that do slither
Deliver me from
[Hook 2]
Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Then I'll die
But I'll never
Never sleep alone

[Bridge 3]
Every night
In every pore
And every time he just makes me warm

[Hook 2]
Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Then I'll die
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone

[Hook 3]
Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Let me die
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone
