(vocal line 1)
the hole in me is greater than the sum of its parts
every cut every bite every break every contusion
my soul is marbled with bruises
these things are never linear
the marks only fade on the skin[surface]
the dotted lines of serration leave visual guides for easy degloving
you followed them perfectly
you only wanted the skin at the end of the day
(vocal line 2)
at some point i started to pride myself on my pain tolerance
my masochism is a symptom
you never gave me the choice to listen to my body
so i learned to ignore it .
no i don’t know what i want just keep feeling me up until i dissociate enough to stop recoiling at your touch and then eventually it’ll start feeling good and i can use that to convince myself i’m okay with this the worst thing you could have done is ask because then i would have to confront the possibility that i’m not okay with what is happening and this turns from a mid hookup to something more traumatic and this is supposed to be the high point in the cycle anyways
(vocal line 3)
the strings have been cut for a long time
but my muscles remember exactly they were pulled
marionette phantom limb instincts
i am a haunted puppet controlled by the ghosts of those who have hurt me
line 4(same audio track as line 3)
nothing has killed me so far and it would be so much easier if any of it did
countless attacks worth of panic lay dormant beneath my skin
the crash knocked out the radar
battered by the winds

ashtray

strip me of my copper
so that my veins are empty enough for the formaldehyde
choking on linoleum
it seals my skin unevenly
alive but entombed
KEPT WARM BY THE CHEMICAL BURNS
MY SKIN’S AN ASHTRAY MY BODY IS AN URN
KEPT WARM BY THE CHEMICAL BURNS
MY SKIN’S AN ASHTRAY MY BODY IS AN URN

the wool over my eyes keeps itching
i can't unsee what you're capable of
i feel like the last witness
everyone else has only seen the front
i fucking hate this
i fucking hate this
i fucking hate this
i fucking hate this
too many layers for a clean reconciliation
too many angles and all of you have too many faces
i hope you know that it fucking hurts me to say this
processes of this kind are never painless
its all fucked up now
I DONT TRUST ANYMORE
I DONT TRUST ANYMORE
I DONT TRUST ANYMORE
I DONT TRUST ANYMORE
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I GENUINELY LOOKED UP TO YOU
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I TOOK YOUR WORD
YOU WEREN'T THE ONLY SNAKE THAT HOUSE HAD AN INFESTATION
BUT PLAYING DUMB ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU HAVE THE DISTANCE
YOUR PARANOIA MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO HIDE
YOUR PARANOIA MAKES SENSE KNOWING WHAT YOU DID EVERY NIGHT
[UNINTELLIGBLE PART]
CHOKING ON THE BLOOD FROM BITING MY TONGUE

I DONT KNOW WHERE I AM
I DONT KNOW WHERE TO GO
NONE OF THE MAPS LINE UP
NAVIGATION SYSTEMS BROKE
BATTERED BY THE WINDS
MEMORIES SAMPLE AND HOLD
RANDOM ACCESS BUT THE PANIC NEVER LEAVES MY BONES
I WISH I WENT THROUGH SOMETHING EASIER TO TALK ABOUT
ITS ALL TOO MUCH AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS ALONE
I WISH IT NEVER HAPPENED. I WISH IT NEVER HAPPENED . I WISH IT NEVER HAPPENED
WHAT THE FUCK ELSE IS THERE TO SAY
12 FUCKING HOURS12 FUCKING HOURS12 FUCKING HOURS AND I
CANT REMEMBER HALF OF THEM
12 FUCKING HOURS12 FUCKING HOURS12 FUCKING HOURS AND I CANT REMEMBER HALF OF THEM
I DONT KNOW WHERE I AM
I DONT KNOW WHERE TO GO
NONE OF THE MAPS LINE UP
TRYING MY BEST NOT TO CHOKE
ON THE PAIN AND THE FEAR AND THE GUILT
IT WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER IF I JUST GOT KILLED
INCOMPREHENSIBLE PART // ME CRYING

still here
not dead
it weighs heavy but its not enough to kill me yet
the path winds and folds
it never ends
i hope you make it to sunrise
i hope i see you again
i hope you make it to sunrise
i hope i see you again
i hope you see the seasons change
and know this isnt the end
we havent said goodbye for
the last time
yet
i promise
i love you
listen to me
you were this tiny seed, buried in darkness
fighting your way to the light
you wanted to live
it was the most beautiful thing in the world
do you still have that in you?
i look at you now
chasing down death at every corner
sweetheart
where is that gorgeous piece of you pushing to be a part of this world?
and i cant tell you where to go from here
because i'm here, and i dont know
but this is not the end
there is no end
but the scenery changes
and your legs get stronger
i thought this would end with a scream, or a death
but my body hurts, and i'm tired of the fear and the pain
and i want to stop running
