Rec: "Paint My Face" by Devil Makes Three

[kalliel]

Saying Devil Makes Three music reminds me of SPN is completely cheating, because this is so true of basically any of their songs. But I'd previously attributed this one to Sam Winchester, and it came back via shuffle today and hit me so hard with all my feelings about Sam Winchester I am in a STATE right now. My heart is breaking:

It just makes me think about Sam and Jess, and Sam and the YED, and Sam and Ruby, and Sam and Lucifer and the long, long run that is Sam's life aaaaaaaaaaaaahHHhhhHHhahHHH

Come paint my face, come take my hand
I do not wish you to understand
Someday you too will go to war
And by that time, may you not fear death anymore

Fortune may hold you, she's not your friend
Kind words spoken, bows deepened
Foulest creature may wear the sweetest smile
Oh, do not fear for I will see you in a while

Eyes upon you through the years
All of your troubles, all of your fear
Always watching, always see
I am you now and you are me

If I should fall, you take my sword
All that is mine will be yours
Do not fear those we leave behind
The blood that runs in your veins, it is mine

I am a stone fallin' through black water
On the bottom, I start again
I am a stone fallin' through black water
My fall, it never ends
My fall, it never ends

Come paint my face, come take my hand
I do not wish you to understand
Someday you too will go to war
And by that time, may you not fear death anymore
