Windows locked
Spreading wings cast familiar shadows
The pity, the illness, forgiveness
Led away from a closing door

Skewed perception, thoughts misshapen
Through glass eyes, staring at a beating
Kept still by a mouths embrace
Nerves and skin coming off the nape

Paper peeling, stale air aging
Fought sedation, clarity is building
Terror kept me in this place
That illusion quickly fades as I

I see
I see
A weaklings face
Pathetic

A baited hook
Set atop the basement stairs
On the line, a final feign of love

You were always so strung out
Bloated bastard, beating down
We’re still alone: that’s all I want now
Coming down to you (during chug part)
Im showing teeth for the first time
Teasing frantic limbs
I’ll have a life that’s all mine

I see
I see
A weaklings face

Tendons and bone are pulled apart

Fear drowning in fluid
Tears hold no meaning in bloodshot eyes
