I can't reject this empty hole I cannot count the bloody cost I can't believe this wretched soul Come penetrate all this loss Come on and kill this sense of life And be the one who is denied Now show me one more upturned knife And fill the emptiness inside Be mine, sister salvation Juke joint Jezebel is coming for my cremation Be mine, sister salvation Closer now, see the revelation If I could leave my burning skin That has been been used up in your sin Is there a tiny part of me Untouched, unsoiled by misery? Be mine, sister salvation Juke joint Jezebel is coming for my cremation Be mine, sister salvation Closer now, see the revelation I am the city that will lie You are the one that blame passed by This is the place where I will weep The loneliness of sweet conceit Be mine, sister salvation Juke joint Jezebel is coming for my cremation Be mine, sister salvation Closer now, see the revelation
