lyrics

Coward in reflection of hazel eyes
No surprise
Bathing in a guilty sea of vacancy
Another selfish plea
Pick another fruit from the fable tree
How does it taste, how does it taste?
Bitter disgrace
Apathetic waste

Did you find what you were looking for
A moth to the flame as darkness falls
Take the time to dissect it all
Place a knife to my neck to see how my juices flow

There’s no excusing
There’s no excusing my trembling hand
Snatch a petal from the myrtle monotony
Soulless thief, days of deceit

Did you find what you were looking for
A moth to the flame as darkness falls
Take the time to dissect it all
Place a knife to my neck to see how my juices flow

I cut corners at every road I turn
Slap the hand that fed my comfort zone
Felt the touch of a strangers hand on mine
Spun a web of selfish driven lies
Fill my bones with bile for one last time
Spread my marrow across a blood red sky
I swear i’ll break if i can’t escape from the cage in my mind

I reside in a chain of blossoms
No hope to heal it
Fearing the feeling
Fill my bones with bile for one last time I feel nothing I feel nothing
