Black Sage

[Verse 1]

Dragging out your despair into the daylight

Well there's safety in the shade of a shadow that you recognise

Still she lingers like a ghost and lies beside you when you can't sleep

Well you plead for her to go and you know she hears you but she won't leave

[Pre-Chorus]

You can burn all the sage you want, try to smoke her out

But when you're all alone she still speaks out loud

[Verse 2]

Wading through the past to rescue the remnants but you couldn't save

The best parts of you, that you still wish you never gave away

And though it haunts you that they're gone

Well I know that there will come a time

Where they'll reappear like a ship in the distance

And in an instant you'll realise

[Chorus]

The remedy is in the poison

The blessing is in the curse

'Cause beauty lies in the broken

And the cracks allow the light through us

And the cracks allow the light through us

(And the cracks allow the light through us)

[Pre-Chorus]

Well you can burn all the sage you want, try to smoke her out

Yeah, but when you're all alone she still speaks out loud

Would it be all in vain, would you be too proud

And dare to spit her name out of your mouth

[Chorus]

The remedy is in the poison

The blessing is in the curse

The cure is hidden in the sickness

Forgiveness hides inside hurt

The remedy is in the poison

The blessing is in the curse

'Cause beauty lies in the broken

And the cracks allow the light through us

And the cracks allow the light through us

And the cracks allow the light through us
