A calm rushes over me As I picture my corpse, ill-fated with the faults I can’t escape A sigh of relief, a sigh of relief used to signify the blight That infects the last few fragments of my skull Sometimes I swear I think that I’ll be fine I’ve made up my mind, death is my birthright I am a noose waiting to be tied Still I try to elude the truth and embrace my disguise Because this way of life takes its toll on mine And I don’t want to be alive Bury me breathing so I can watch myself decay Bury me breathing so I can watch myself decay So I can watch myself decay We are stillborns by definition But our pulse-infected wrists will disagree We burden ourselves with intent and ambition When we’ve accepted that all hope is lost So dance past my lips and disperse Leaving no trace of human condition Our bodies blind the world with a sense of selflessness That only a trained eye can see You blame me for your blindness Open your eyes You blame me for your blindness Open your eyes

Your words grew cold and incoherent and I’m Searching for a fever that could Lift me to the border of dementia My eyes are tired from surveying everything we used to share And I would sew them shut if I had any strength inside I remember every promise, I’ve carved them into my spine I raise my hands to the sky And beg that this won’t go unnoticed Though I know some fires are not meant to burn We are bred to flicker and fade Not to retreat into the earth, not to grow without remorse We douse ourselves with the moisture That we’ve drawn from the soil We breed and unleash, we’re our own natural disaster String me along like the thread that binds your ribcage Tie my limbs to the anchor, and be sure that I’m Left alone to sink I will shine brighter than the sun I will forever be your torch Cast me away And in time I will set fire to the fibers that connect us My palms grow calloused from the cold I need your touch to cauterize Sustained by the flame of another The embers begin to reignite There’s a hole in the herd that will never be filled The anguish will fall through your fingers As mankind manifests itself through misfortune I am alone and the world carries on I am alone, the world carries on And we don’t deserve a second thought

I’m shaking and so are my hands And I can’t tell if it’s the cold or if I’m finally feeling regret A martyr in my own mind and a pariah Given the capacity of my own guilt Do I fight the fact that I am a nervous wreck Or do I face the forthcoming collision head on? I don’t know how to abandon my blind heart (And I’m convinced that you deserve this) My organs are dark and minuscule In comparison to yours I’m no longer pining to cure my disease I’m just dying to advance the process Trim your wings and deceive me Cinch your halo around my neck Because death houses such beauty If we can enjoy what will grow in its absence We are thin and wasted at both ends And we’ve accepted our position I was never worthy of following your footsteps So be sure to leave no evidence that you’ve existed We dare not turn and face the figures treating us to our descent If we knew their origin then we’d surely be disgusted This is the kind of illness That leaves us rotting from the inside out And we wear this on our sleeves Content with our casualty I would do this all over again I’m the catalyst of our collapse Haunted by conviction And a partner to the pain Forgive me for who I’ve become these past few years Forgive me for allowing my love to disappear Trim your wings and deceive me Cinch your halo around my neck And just leave me alone with my thoughts Eaten alive until there’s nothing left to mourn I will resonate through the minds of others As a corpse and nothing more, nothing more

Your ghost holds me close As I’m ravaged by the solitary that surrounds my former home Use me until you’ve spent the rest of my remains And then try to validate your actions Cursing every empty vein That used to be inhabited by your impression Paralyze me To ensure I have no chance of knowing the feeling of affection It’s no secret that I’ve shed the common decency That appoints the world with the burden of devotion to our kin I gave you everything I had and the world has left me exhausted (So make me feel) So make me feel something Anything that might change my mind As worthless as I am, I know that I still serve a purpose To leech off the light and absolve my insignificance Lay me to rest Lay me to rest inside of a glass casket So you can remember me with a smile on my face Adorning me in my own failures So you can count them as you stand above my bones I wish I were a better man I am a coward masked in courage And just admitting this will not save me this time So free me from my tired mind And let me learn the difference Between a single tear and the runoff of an ocean Weak and weary from my predatory nature So bless me with abandonment in my greatest time of need Let me carry on knowing that I could never truly face my reflection It’s much easier to caress the broken glass (broken glass) Though if I accidentally catch a glimpse of myself in the shards I will put my faith in the shrapnel to correct my vision I am a stranger when I stare into the eyes of those I love Look away in disgust Protect yourself from the sight of my deception I am a stranger when I stare into the eyes of those I love Look away in disgust Protect yourself from the sight of my deception

I've grown accustomed to losing sleep Sweep me off my feet Dig your nails into my wounds and pull A lucid dream Where my chest will collapse from the weight of a fictitious ghost Tear through me, sacrifice me to your sea With broken arms I'm left to carry my shell With no help from the current Lifeless, I am dragging me down Hollow, I'm left to fend for myself Forget everything that you've come to know We are not meant for much but to carry our own misery Is there a God cursing every step that I take? Or have I been forced to commit myself to the dirt? We're chasing the light in the darkest of graves But the fortunate ones know to wait until mourning Be still Serenity blesses us in waves And with eyes like mountains, we're drawn to the brow Leave this life behind and take the next step in the right direction Stare at the sky, and offer yourself to circumstance Be the burn Burn me alive Be the burn Burn me alive With no destination in mind I'm free to roam until my last words are heard by all Confide in your fragile frame And know that you're not alone Allow these words to reverberate within you I am only a medium But I will show you the way Tragedy will find us

Take comfort in the cadence of the bond we share A visionary born and raised to see with an unbiased sense of sight We pause just for a second to properly embrace the radiance We are the anointed dipped in filth Taught to cower in fear of being identified But tragedy will find us And I’m held captive by my spoiled soul I won’t allow it to affect my stride The procession will proceed As we’re gifted with our own idea of peace So find yourself in me I promise I will keep you as we harvest the passion that remains Make my skin your sanctuary I make a pact with the earth to draw life from the living Make my skin your sanctuary Leap to the beat of my blood So place your hand in mine, drag your feet across the tops of trees Breathe easy knowing that the branches will support you And the weight of your complication In the midst of the ruin that surrounds us We communicate but only in tongues Our lips will welcome the caress of crucifixion And we stain the wood with defeat I am not a mortal, I am a metaphor for moving forward

Congregate what little ounce of decency is left And gather enough courage to invoke contractions in your vocal chords Admission of guilt through confrontation I’ve had to chisel every lie out of your mouth And after all this time I’ve grown immune to your embrace Spare me and my virgin ears from a stale conception Admit that I’m the victim and cradle consequence Line your insides with a sense of wrongly obtained righteousness Spread your poison as thin as you possibly can To ensure you violate every inch of common ground Call me a cancer Keep convinced that you’re not sick yourself You will be exposed as soon as the world's eyes can fully adjust to the dark I was the cure to your corrosion But now I want to watch your skin rust and slowly grow discoloured And when your throat buckles under the weight of the accumulation of perjury I want to watch the life seep out of your tear duct As your death rattle hits my eardrum and thaws what’s left of my cold heart I hope you choke to death The compass has been cracked I hope you fucking choke to death

Back-pedaling into the black But I can still make out the figures That will threaten my well-being The wind will rise and fall But never sway from side to side Progression halted Encapsulating the fluid weave of death Like a garden that contains all of its arrested offspring We’re afraid to force our legs to break free from the earth And take the first step towards our insecurity Sleep away your selfishness Slip into collapse A still-like state of disregard From which you can’t fall back You never fully moved me I’ve been embedded in the dust And my mind has been ravaged by war Pray for farewell as if I was yours to lose I would love to love you, if you were someone else So forgive me for being unresponsive I’m sure it’s hard to train your ears To hear me crying out for help With my lips sewn shut by the stitches of my own indecision So I’ll speak in whispers to permit my throat relief I bite my tongue Fill my mouth with blood And swallow enough to kill me Before I’m forced to lose more sleep So I’ll speak in whispers to permit my throat relief I bite my tongue Fill my mouth with blood And swallow enough to kill me I would love to love you If you were someone else Am I fit to walk alone again Or will you save me from myself? Breathe life into me Be all that I can see Or carry on without me And just know I wished you well

We shiver in the pause between words Abandonment still fresh upon the tips of our tongues The whispers we’ve chosen to live and die in will infect deaf ears with the discordance of deceit Why do we scream when there is nothing left to say? Silently acknowledging the solace in loss I am content with throwing everything away because I lost myself when I found you Carry me back to your bed My conscience is my coffin and I swear sometimes I’d rather be dead Make sure that I still feel, I don’t care how much it hurts I’ll always be numb on my side of the earth In the dark I watched the light hit your skin, hoping that my eyes might never adjust Soft sounds save me from the confines of sleep because hearing your voice once was never enough I think I’ve finally identified the Difference I think I live in both my hell and my home I will forever be a slave to your distance Don’t let me in Don’t let me go Carry me back to your bed My conscience is my coffin and I swear sometimes I’d rather be dead Make sure that I still feel, I don’t care how much it hurts I’ll always be numb on my side of the earth Don’t let me in, don’t let me go (In this moment) I’d rather die than live without you I’d rather die
