Drowning in a sea of consciousness 
Off the coast of depravity 
Left the ruins and sank in your skin
Wept and wept as I faced punishment 

Watched souls escape through a lens
Forked tongue spewing venom
Blackened lungs and bloodshot eyes
This is how I always pictured I'd die

Searched for grief in a painting called relief 
Bathed in lust to remind me
That desires always erase me 
So love doesn't come easy
And hatred sings a song so pure to me
It fuels my insecurities 
Always fail to cover my tracks
So when I fall I never react

Trying to search for grace in this pain
Let it flow like the blood in my veins
My nails can only carry so much dirt 
So I'll cut off my fingers to make this work

Searched for inspiration among travesty
Found myself alone craving security
Another door shut in my face
Another reason to kill the memories
Buried them deep inside my head
Lost souls sleeping in my bed

Watched souls escape through a lens
Forked tongue spewing venom
Blackened lungs and bloodshot eyes
This is how I always pictured I'd die
Though I'd like to say goodbye 
Forced dementia through my mind
So whoever's controlling you now
Let them know I fucking tried

Watched the dust settle
Heard the rite of passage 
Locked eyes with a ghost that failed me
Searched for solace in dead memories 
So for the closure we'll never have
I'll continue to scream your name
Until I feel nothing
I seek nothing

Carried the weight of words you spoke
Felt your God clenching my throat
Left to dwell for eternity 
About love, hate, and everything in between

Inhaling smoke and breathing out fire
Wish I was never born with desire
The gods have cast a burden upon my soul
And anguish cuts my throat
Leave me to the worms so they can feast
On all my dead-weight dreams

So find me hanging from your light
So I can keep myself warm
For these times are trying
And you lost intentions once pure

Put your hands around my neck
I want you to feel victorious again
So shall I sink like Virginia Woolf
Or will I burn like I'm Joan of Arc
Either way, the world's gonna spin
So I'll return to my dream state again
For this remedy, it must die
Place your flowers in my eyes
