As you lay me to rest I am finally free
Though I am not what I used to be
My hollow frame weeps for what it was
I chase an image swallowed up by my disease
The earth shatters below me
I see my face in the cliffs sinking into the sea
As I long for the tide to erase me, drag me down into the depths beneath
I feel the sun rise over me
A broken image left to rot in the silence of the deep
As it illuminates the fault lines
This world will finally know release
Do you remember when we were whole
Now fractured and torn we beg for the end
An end so violent
Though I will never know relief
We sink our teeth into the sand as if we're destined to die
For all our power, we are paralysed
I feel our failures churn below
Drown me in the ocean, drown me in the cold
Drown me in the cold
Break apart my bones to let me begin
Drinking salt from the breast of the world again
I feel the sun rise over me
A broken image left to rot in the silence of the deep
As it illuminates the fault lines
This world will finally know release
Do you remember when we were whole
Now fractured and torn we beg for the end
An end so violent
Though I will never know my own relief
This world has taken everything we had to gain
And as we lay here in the dirt the tides come crawling in
And I know, I know theres nothing left for me but the silence in our suffering
This is not what it was before, a broken image left to rot in the deep
This world will be forgotten, this world will know release
This rock is nothing but a skeleton picked clean
And as parasites upon this earth we will never know relief

I feel alive
For the first time I feel content in life
Oh god, don't let it end
I'm sick of slipping through the cracks with bated breath
Don't let it end, don't let it end
Don't let it end, don't let it end
Each breath I'd take
I watched it suffocate, felt it asphyxiate
I let decay carve it's place inside my throat
Each breath I take is not enough, it's not enough
I crave much more than winter's breath
I'm alive but with each day I'm left wanting more
I'm alive but I want more
I want more.

Water & Fear

I lost it all, lost it all to memory
Every moment, every word that has dripped out of me
I can't reflect, reflect on who I used to be
A coward in a prison of reality
I find myself in a cage of my own suffering
Lashed to the bones of a man lost to agony
As my reflection calls out to me, I feel you beckon from beyond the wayside into apathy
"I can taste your loneliness
I can see your sorrow
I can feel your apprehension
Join me in the marrow"
The voice inside my head it longs for something more, but
I never wanted to cut you out but the shame was too much, I was lost in the doubt
Don't wrap me in the shroud of abandonment, help me block out the song in my head because
It sings to me, it sings for me
It sings of misery
It's misery, it sings of misery
Of suffering, of boundless agony
Let me be
My essence is scarred from the flow of endless entropy
I fell beneath the inverse clouds I watched
So cold was their love I never knew I'd lost their touch
I fell further than I ever knew
A companion to the dirt, I burnt the roots that grew
I never wanted to cut you out but the shame was too much, I was lost in the doubt
Don't wrap me in the shroud of abandonment, help me block out the song in my head because
I never wanted to cut you out but the shame was too much, I was lost in the doubt
Don't wrap me in the shroud of abandonment, help me block out the song in my head because
I scorched my eyes in a fire of my own demise
And we both know I will only find my light when I say farewell to life.

Dry your eyes dear mother
Dry your eyes
To bear your tears upon our shoulders is the greatest shame we know
And I'm not sure that we'll survive anymore of this
Endless war is all we know from here until the end of us
This world is broken
This world is cold
For all we've wrought under your gaze your faith in us is so misplaced
Empty eyes now filled with dust congeal and leave us blind
We've torn the veins from our chests to hang this world to death
But still you'd slit your wrists into our mouths if just to see us drown
This earth is scorched in empty virtue
Enraptured in its filth, we beckon forth the sea of glass inside our hearts
And it's tearing us apart.

Embrace me in decay
I pick at the scabs in my head so the pain flows once again
Encase me in suffering
I've let this sadness make it's mark on me and it won't let go
All I do and all I am is but a shadow of a broken man
He lays awake at night obsessed with how it all began
As winter seeps into my home I grate my bones against the cold
Of the rugged pavement down below for the emptiness inside my soul
When I hide from the light I'm shown the sins of days gone by
Snakeskin slides across my mind and I see the horror in your eyes
And I know I never should have left you there alone
This world is empty
And how my heart is heavy
Enraptured, encased in the shadows of my own disgrace
Lay me here to rot in the bowels of my uncertainty
All I do and all I am is but a shadow of a broken man
He lays awake at night obsessed with how it all began
As winter seeps into my home I grate my bones against the cold
Of the rugged pavement down below for the emptiness inside my soul
Behold my empty bones
The man you used to know.
