I've saved a drop of blood for when I truly need it most To be distributed among the parasites I've saved a drop of blood for when I truly need it most To be exchanged for a purer form of pain My ribcage will replace a ladder's rungs Leading me towards the ceiling of my curse As the earth falls upward from the ground Where I collapse in sunken skies I am but one man And the sorrow I have salvaged won't sustain Murder me in the silence I have lived in My fingernails won't hold a torch that mirrors my reflection Murder me in the silence I have lived in No trace of tension could coerce the composition from my skull Like a currency reserved for skeletons I will deny a high regard Sick to my stomach at the distance to the ground My ribcage will replace a ladder's rungs Leading you towards the depth of my despair We collapse inside the walls that close before us Murder me in the silence I have lived in A fabrication to appease the ones who suffer Don't call me your protector I couldn't keep myself from caving in Don't call me your protector A war against myself I'll never win I've saved a drop of blood for when I truly need it most To be distributed among the parasites I've saved a drop of blood for when I truly need it most To be exchanged for a purer form of pain

Drifting through decaying arteries Repurposing the shell that I have severed to withstand paralysis Straining as my eyes lose the ability to see Displaced by my disease pursuing darkness Instinct will carry me across a fragile plain To burn in the deficiency of sun Scatter my remains as the flesh withers away Remember me for all I failed to be When my misery comes to an end Deliver me to a place I'll never leave I wish I could feel safer in my skin Chiseling my name into the clouds To alleviate the burden of the dead That wander without direction Depart from the existence I've denounced Embedded in the souls that I once lead Sewing strings of separation in the centre of a storm I wish I could feel safer in my skin I wish I could feel safer in my skin Remember me for all I failed to be When my misery comes to an end Deliver me to a place I'll never leave I wish I could feel safer in my skin
