i don’t want it, i don’t need it, give it to me
hemorrhage desire for the unattainable
everything in front of me, all that i fucking see
is a mirror image of an inhibition
abused bell of empathy
rings hollow
fewer lines of bullshit i
can swallow
sickened by reality
got no love in me
bled dry by humanity
the rope swings
circumstance defines being
branches grow fruitless
god is a refugee
she lives within me
spirit imprisonment
self-imposed (choked down the key)
sewer drain birthed me into
my death throes
sickened by reality
got no love in me
surrendered humanity
the rope stills

Stave
03:02
|

confusing ego death with real death
you mean nothing to me
now come and read
this fiction i weave
can’t let you see the real me
swap masks eternally
lie through my teeth
bite the cord and run free
it feeds, it thrives
then kicks its way inside and
chokes ‘till my lips go blue
cover up, suck it up
before i show you what it
takes to kill the time in hell
a dissociative tendency
stranger to myself
peel back the skin
mannequin stand-in
time to kill this sinking feeling
crack open my chest
but nothing’s there
just fucking stale air
living feels like a disease
and there ain’t no antidote
i staved it off today
i made it through today
there’s only one door out
and it's fucking nailed shut
but i staved it in today
i got away today

Drown Me In You
03:16
|

fuck it
i can’t follow through
keep finding reasons
drown me in you
i have nothing left, survive me
i am floating face down
the reeds part for me
beg this of you
i am nothing now, surpass me
i'll kneel at your feet
it’s what i owe you
free me from you
balance on the knife to hoist you
up, can’t make this bed
you used to sleep here too
douse it in you
kiss the match and light my way
you knew it like a friend
i’ve always been afraid
i can’t follow through
there’s one last reason
drown me in you
i have nothing left
snuff my fire and
drown me in you
empty bastard un-
load into me
atop your altar i
receive mercy
finally free
