Whispers 03:07
Looking for a way to describe The emptiness that’s consuming my life It shouldn’t come as a surprise That I might reach and claw and pry And still want out of this life It’s an absence of light I’m contorted and molded into something I don’t recognize I guess I’m feeling alright If alright is redefined as fucking waiting to die Even in my dreams it waits for me The endless peaks of nothingness My wrists are slit to pay the price Until I’m ordained as a coward in gods eyes I have no control in what He sees I’m a whisper of who I used to be What’s the point, of being me? When the things that I have loved become a pyrrhic victory As It Came for Me, So Shall It Come for You Forced into the eye of the needle Breathe in, breathe out Let go I want out

Yeah My body is broken Fever burns me to silt You don’t have to tell me that my life’s falling apart I’m dehydrated and intumesce and I have given up Wan and mottled patchwork skin, it’s lacework is undone Seizing from the bursting vessel, bleeding from my cuts Everything turns red There’s a drill pressed to my skull Hypoxic and malignant My meninges have swelled shut You don’t have to tell me that my life’s falling apart You don’t have to tell me that my life’s falling apart I am painfully aware of all the fluid I have lost You don’t have to tell me that my life’s falling apart

Romancer In love with every lie you’ve told From the water flows a river forth Familiar Recede back to your home alone Dissembling And I’m coming apart just to forget That I’m sorry But I don’t think that I can agree I’d hate to criticize your precious norms Not sorry Now get the fuck away from me Commit to live a lie you’ve always told Pirouette Dance around a truth that you ignore There’s nothing else I know you’d rather do Discarding Discarding people through untruth Mendacious And you’re fucking lying to yourself I’m sorry But I don’t think that I can agree I’d hate to criticize your precious norms Not sorry Now get the fuck away from me Commit to live a lie you’ve always told Your fragile world of fiction Slipping through your teeth and fooling no one Every part of you exposing the guise Don’t act surprised When you’re finally forced to face the fire It’s all just fiction I’m sorry But I don’t think that I can agree I’d hate to criticize your precious norms Not sorry Now get the fuck away from me Commit to live a lie you’ve always told

Please keep this Between us You wouldn’t want The lord to find out, do you? My word is Breathed out by god So be steadfast And hold your peace, my son Just do this for me Leave room for my wrath for it is written It is mine to avenge, I will repay Spitting in the face of your god through your abuse then say the lord works in mysterious ways Don’t you deny it Enough with the lies you tell God put me on this earth to keep you from hurting anyone else Beads of sweat Will hit the ground Like drops of blood Now get ready to enter my kingdom, you fucking bitch Walk beside me I will be your garden of Gethsemane The lord works in mysterious ways And now he works through me I will spill your blood upon your rosaries For every single fucking thing you took from me
