chamber down
we deserve to die
hold your last words
fall inside my crime
comatose in a bed of flames
it's only you and I
so you know that you've been erased
these nightmares drain you
skin grows white
every light is a cancer in front of me
the empty ashen waves of rain
so hold your last words
fall inside my crime
(taste)
I feel like giving up
(blade)
to a needle and a gun
(break)
let the poison come
(taste)
lay blind and paralyzed
(blade)
so let me self-destruct
(break)
with a needle and a gun
apart of this moment now raven
won't sing to sky
the automatic fear of dying too
we will always dress in vacant stares
the blood of frail machines
the creepy light will fall away
again
secrets I can't hide
(here's the part that you press in me)
overtake my life
(here's the part that you press in me)
my wilted hands in broken glass
collecting pieces for a broken mask
a libertine in amber haze
in decadence on parade
i'll tear my limbs apart
to know i'm still alive
(taste)
I feel like giving up
(blade)
to a needle and a gun
(break)
let the poison come
(taste)
lay blind and paralyzed
(blade)
can I separate the real?
am I kneeling to some faultline
your child is gone
he bled himself dry
so let me self-destruct
(break)
with a needle and a gun
