lyrics

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
