Pure Like Porcelain

When the fuck will it end? Conversations alone With all the voices in my head sending me down below Follow the scars on my skin Bleed me out of this pain before it ever begins Follow the cracks in the back of my skull Bleed it out until there's nothing but bone Nothing to cling to when I'm here on my own With all of the walls closing in on me How do I get back to somewhere I know? The silence screams my name But I claim this hell alone When the world goes cold And thе sun burns out with the soul The silencе screams my name But I claim this hell alone This burning shadow follows me to my doom If a life doesn't bloom at the end How will it be made new? If a heart never mends as it breaks Let it rust with the truth Unrecognizable An ever-flowing river of hate runs through my veins And I can't let go Conversations alone With all of the walls closing in on me How do I get back to somewhere I know? The silence screams my name Screams my name With all of the walls closing in on me How do I get back to somewhere I know? The silence screams my name But I claim this hell alone When the world goes cold And the sun burns out with the soul The silence screams my name But I claim this hell alone

Death is the cure Stained glass reflects an image of faith Baptized in the flames A painted mark on the grave The sound of gnashing my teeth on the cross echoes endlessly Separate the soul from the heart The sacrifice of the lamb to the dark Nothing is permanent Corroded innocence Manufacturing the will to exist This ticking clock Always moves in slow motion but never stops Surrender hope When the shadows all come from below I should have known this rope Could only hold so much before it lets me go Death is the cure Pitch black where I've been feeding pain Bent back as the spine disconnects from my brain (From my brain) The sound of gnashing my teeth on the cross echoes endlessly Malevolent dreams Dance with the devils that devour me Malevolent nightmares Separate the soul to disappear Nothing is permanent, immortal ignorance Manufacturing the will to exist Nothing is permanent, clip my fucking wings Fall back to earth, one with the dirt This ticking clock Always moves in slow motion but never stops Surrender hope When the shadows all come from below I should have known this rope Could only hold so much before it lets me go Surrender hope When the shadows all come from below I should have known this rope Could only hold so much before it lets me go

Ruin me If I've become the disease Shed this skin to ruin me If it could take the pain that I've caused Don't resuscitate the life that I lost These intricate lies blurring the boundaries Am I a flawed design? This delicate balance to hang by a thread Knowing I'm out of time Find me hollowed out Never making a sound Just a face in the background Why do I tell myself that I don't deserve this hell Whеn it was made for no one elsе? Hard to see whatever lies ahead Below the bitterness, I can't remember How to feel like I'm not to blame Healing the hate in me I swore to God I'd change The signs never came, only rain When all of this decays I'll be healing the hate in me Find me hollowed out In the deep with all my skeletons Carve these words into the bone So you can read them again When I'm gone, who will remember me? Find me on the shelf Flew too close to the sun, never asking for help When I'm gone, who will remember me? Ruin me If I've become the disease Shed this skin to ruin me If it could take the pain that I've caused Don't resuscitate the life that I lost Hard to see whatever lies ahead Below the bitterness, I can't remember How to feel like I'm not to blame Healing the hate in me I swore to God I'd change The signs never came, only rain When all of this decays I'll be healing the hate in me If the good die young Does that mean I wasn't good enough? Die young
