lyrics

You’ve stretched me to transparency
Just to say you see right through me
The advantage that you press, is a weight on my chest
Its holding me down for the guillotine

How you drip slow inside me
A cold rush to core of my veins
Shuts me down silently
Til I am not feeling feeling a thing

Here am I left stagnant kept by frozen vines
You swear its just to keep me safe that they’re so intertwined
It wouldn’t be the first time that you lied

If I’m to blame for all of this
Then trust me given half a chance
I’d pull wire from wrist
To cleanse my heart and bleed to death
To purge me of this mistake,
Pour out the plans that you’ve made
To bleed out on this floor and lie here awake

Trapped with you kept inside (we know whats best for you)
Watched by these blurry outlines (you’ll see you silly fool)
You’re killing me you’re killing me (just what we’re waiting for)
By keeping me here in this room

Sleep won’t you come,
pull the curtain to on all I’ve done
And keep me in this room, a cold familiar tomb
For only one
I’m growing cold from these fluid-filled wires
And I blame you for all that’s transpired
And these hospital sheets couldn’t keep me warm if I was on fire
