lyrics

Ivory skin stretches its way across your meager frame
hair in knots dark as the dirt where Ive buried these seeds I’ve sown
let me walk like a man with my head held high
we all change with time
grow more cynical with every night

are you ashamed of the wicked things
that you’ve done to yourself?
are you so torn
by the voices in your head?
they tell you to leave all those that have loved you so
scream so desperately
and my faith in you will bury me

sentiment and your polished tongue
won’t cover up the lies when the sky comes down on us

so you preach you’re not ready
but god knows I can’t carry

the weight of the world on my crooked spine
I’m broken nearly all the time
now spit out the words you’ve been trying to say
show me what you’re really made of
hide through the phrasing
our bodies untangled
you hate me? well I hate you too

time stolen
viscously vanquished
where is the point in grieving now, in grieving now
in grieving now
are you grieving now?
