lyrics

You can feel the weight upon your spine
And you can feel fingernails cut through your mind
And it's unfair
Another feast for the dead below
Another burning bridge to light your repose
Watch it dance with the ghost you leave behind

You wait your turn, you're a good disease
A bitter heart and calloused knees
You can tell that you're gonna be just fine
And it's unfair
You can pray like you want relief
Nail yourself to the cross like a petty thief
Trying to breathe while your mouth is full of lies

Like a gnawing truth you can't recite
It hides inside your chest and behind your eyes
And it's unscared
You can writhe in disquiet doubt
Afraid to bleed and let the warmth run out
Or you can make sure no one leaves alive

There's a deep black want to feed
A howling void of eyes and gnashing teeth
Now take the plunge and let the old grace die
And be unscared
Reborn in the dark and freed
Harrowed lives feed and sate hallowed dreams
Chase it down like a bitter wine
And be unscared
