lyrics

East Of Eden
(Mitchell Girio)

I was born under the sky
“Starless, bible black”
I’ll take until I die
What’s the point of giving back?
At night time when you pray
The Devil and me will keep you wide awake

There’s a house where I once lived
Now it’s blackened to the quick
With a kiss of kerosene
And a spark upon my lips
I struck that match so hard
The air lit up, then everything went dark

Chorus
I will twist it till it turns
I’ll light this earth until everything
East Of Eden burns

When will you ever learn
I’ll light this earth until everything
East Of Eden burns
East Of Eden burns

All you tired hypocrites
Holding fast onto the world
Do you think before you spit
On what it means to be a girl
At night time when you pray
The Devil and me will keep you wide awake

Chorus
I will twist it till it turns
I’ll light this earth until everything
East Of Eden burns

You taught me what I learned
I’ll light this earth until everything
East Of Eden burns
East Of Eden burns
East Of Eden burns
