Onyx wrapped in flesh
Our beating hearts beat like the rest
The spirals in our ears digest
Sounds around are pleased to bless
Only to those
Onyx wrapped in flesh
Only to those
Onyx wrapped in flesh
Only to those
Onyx wrapped in flesh
Only to those
Onyx wrapped in flesh
A seat at a table and I'm waiting just for you
Coming home for dinner and the feeding time ensues
I'm squeezing out some opals and rubies from my veins
Open up your mouth boy and swallow down my pain
Generations of gravel, decades of coal and bones
Finally, finally, mama is home
Come in, so you're not alone
I'm the comfort that you seek
I'm the light in the bleak
I'm the secret you shall keep
I'm the secret you shall keep
Onyx wrapped in flesh
Our beating hearts beat like the rest
The spirals in our ears digest
Sounds around are pleased to bless
Only to those
Wrapped in flesh, wrapped in flesh, onyx
Only to those
Wrapped in flesh
Onyx wrapped in flesh
Only to those, onyx
I'm not the bitch you think I am
I'm out in Japan
Finding rare gemstones I know others can't
I'm the gem that you
Wish you could dust off
Choose a spot for me to lose
All sense of personality
My only currency is charcoal
Paying you what I owe
Paying you what I owe
Paying you
My only currency is charcoal
Paying you what I owe
So I may stay blessed
Onyx wrapped in flesh
Onyx wrapped in flesh
Our beating hearts beat like the rest
The spirals in our ears digest
(Paying you what I owe)
Sounds around are pleased to bless
Only to those
Wrapped in flesh,
(Paying you what I owe)
Wrapped in flesh, onyx
Only to those
Wrapped in flesh
Onyx wrapped in flesh
Paying you what I owe
Paying you what I owe
Paying you what I owe
Paying you what I owe
Onyx wrapped in flesh
Our beating heart beats like the rest
The spirals in our ears digest
The sounds around are pleased to bless
Only to those, oh
Onyx wrapped in flesh
Only to those, oh
Onyx wrapped in flesh
Onyx wrapped in flesh
Onyx wrapped in flesh
Alright Mr. Demille, I'm ready for my close-up
