lyrics

Why won’t you face me?
That look in your eyes has never changed,
Despite the features of your face that have gone missing.

And now I’m bracing,
For when your fragile, dying frame,
Decides it’s time to give away that you’re not listening.

Your thin lips taste of vinegar and piss.
Your sick face falls apart,
And your body with it.

Your limbs break with the slightest bit of impetus.
A putrid altar of dismemberment.

I will never shake the shame.
It lives in me, it bears your name.
Upon my hands, the stains will remain,
And in your wake, we take the blame.

I can’t shake the shame, so I’ll take the blame.
I can’t say your name, I can’t take the pain.
I can’t shake the shame, so I'll take the blame.
I can’t take the pain.

Take me down to the mouth of the river,
Wash away my sins.
Waiting now for the doubt to deliver,
All of my endings.
All of my ends.

Falling forward for what feels like forever,
Into the endless void, into the nether,

I have seen the worst,
Of what a man can become.
I’ve accepted the fucking terms,
My point of no return.

Lying near the worms,
With the rotting stench of the Earth.
The dying fear no hurt,
Crying tears of dirt.
