lyrics

Raptured
Detached
Floating above a body going numb
Every particle disconnected
Spirit ripped from flesh
Temporarily dispossessed
Knowing the center will cave in
Withdrawn but lucid
Tethered by circumstance
To be bruised
To be fucked
Confusion turns to regret
Waiting for the drop back into oblivion

I woke up on an operating table
I never agreed to be laid down upon
Yet
Here you are grabbing, starving, pulling, slicing
Your hands greedy and shaking
Along with the Rattling wails of past lovers you failed to keep
And here I am weeping full of sleet and sand
Get your hands off me
Get your hands off me
Creeping late into a gritty grate
We slid down together
You pushed me down further

Hollow eyes
Clenched fists
Dried mouth
Baptizing me in fear

To swing or to suffer
I’m still treading water
These moments collapse
With eyes wide and blacked out
Heart fissures leaking
So fragile, suddenly
Holding out hope
I’ll make it out alive

I’ll make it out alive

You said somehow this was the choice I made
As though I craved the dagger
To be run right through me
Spine pulled tight, cracking
One day you’ll sink deeper than i have
