lyrics

I’m holding on,
To the only fleeting,
Part of me,
That keeps me in myself.
I’m falling,
Deeper into that which has,
A grip on my insides,
And all that is without.

Now for the vanishing act, oh my God,
The shadows, the walls, have always had my back.
I scratch my skin til I bleed, drown in my river of need
Caught in the noose of self reduction.
Running my body to bone, the reaper of what I sow:
Disgusting existence.
All eyes behold, lend me your glare,
Behold the burden I bear.

Please, let me breathe,
The silence is my friend now.
Please, let me be,
No one needs to know what I feel.
Please, can’t you see?
You’re only wasting your time.
Please, let me rot in my own skin.

If my mind is the ocean, your words are the undertow,
Wrapped around my ankles, and they're pulling me below.
So when I've reached the bottom, healing water will fill my lungs.
Take a look back through the water, and watch what I become.
