lyrics

It doesn’t matter if I was lying here or standing;
Because it was always following me,
Do I caress your bones or do you caress mine?
Do we both stroke the muscle underneath the skin we ripped?

I cannot let you consume me,
I refuse to bow to collapse this time.

When you go, don’t expect me to drag you back up off your knees again,
When you go, you deserve to kneel,
And I won’t reduce myself, to a facet of your hell,
‘Cause I know what lies beneath the false outside of me,

Nothing exists until it is torn - I will repeat and refract my retention,
Nothing has form until it is broken - I am reaping the flow of my failures,
Nothing has meaning until it is left - to facilitate continuation,
Nothing has purpose until it has wept - I am questioning my own existence,

I cannot let you consume me,
I refuse to bow to collapse this time.

When you go, don’t expect me to drag you back up off your knees again,
When you go, you deserve to kneel,
And I won’t reduce myself, to a facet of your hell,
‘Cause I know what lies beneath the false outside of me.

Do you know what you did to me?

It shapes, it contorts, it twists and revolts, it seethes beneath, watching, waiting, and hating,
A snapped neck is a conscience check, and a conscience check is fatal,
I’m watching you,
Fucker,

When you go, don’t expect me to drag you back up off your knees again,
When you go, you deserve to kneel,
And I won’t reduce myself, to a facet of your hell,
‘Cause I know what lies beneath the false outside of me.

Stigmatise me! I don’t care!
You’ll never understand what isn’t even there.
You will never see, through these bleeding eyes,
Your conjectures misguided; it wants me to die.
