A vacant face on a hopeless child
The skies burn colourless embers
Writhing together in the dark
The swelling of my skin
The swelling of my emptiness
A beauty like angels dying
And falling into a cruel sea
You're stroking my hair as I cry
And moving away from the shore
Flesh and blood and flesh and blood
And blood and blood
The first kisses sting the worst
We moved like snakes, or like insects
Twins from a corner look at our faces
But it's only a mirror
I hide inside myself
Curled up, the marrow of bone
Moist with lies
I can feel the fear and panic
I can feel the world dry up
Everything falls apart
Everything falls away
I fall apart I fall away
Broken like dolls
The razors against our skin
The walls and floor and ceiling collapse
I'm screaming, but I can't hear it
And it hurts so bad, it's all I want to feel
She looks up like a dream
Like bittersweet memories her skin like silk
She glows like a candle and she moves
And wrapped around me, the venom fills me
And when the light filters in
I feel so alone and I feel so afraid
Please go away, I want to cry
Leave me here to die
And fall, like bones
My traitor's heart, my sickened stomach
At the worms in my skin
The thing that I've done
Red lights that flicker always
Animals move with so much more grace
Dying on slabs, and burning in pyres
I never wanted this
I've always wanted this
Leave me to die
I will die here alone
I want to die here alone
The tainted, poison kisses
That burned like fire
Helpless and sick
No fallen hero, no tragedy
Just the gardens of this
Regret for the first shadow
In the hollow words never spoken
Let me die
