lyrics

the skin pulls apart, i watch the seams break
just a drop at first, then a stream and it aches
lines running down my arm
to my fingertips
the flow it takes a part of me
the healing hurts more than the cuts

sleepless and searching for something else
who should i be, i should be something else
the hate turns around and i fall on my sword
the blade is cold and my blood is on fire
death is what makes us feel alive

i'm awake i am awake
but still is the night
insane is on the tip of my mind
and the ledge is ever more inviting

alone at home outside of myself
the damage i do holds fascination
the damage is done, i am the wreckage

escape is impossible, the walls are falling down
under the rubble is where i'll settle down
the disaster has passed so embrace the aftermath
the light has gone out and the dark guides my path
its trickling down from the scars and staining the rug

will you stay here with me
i'll show you how to unfeel
open up my wounds and cleanse yourself
is god satisfied or just absent

the pain slows and it soothes
kept in tact by gaping reminders
otherwise love would finally kill me
i'm dying to see what that's like

i'm headed all the way down river
its too late to turn back
