lyrics

Pariah among the outcast
I am the one the other ghosts fear
Dereliction clings like a phantom need
Windlass and drawing wire
Haul it up from the depths and count the toll
No intention holds for the dawling vein
But somewhere the serpent waits

The sediment divides
And truth a relentless call
We were two birds caught in a chock-stone fate
To take the fall

Messiah to all the broken
They only see your flame in cracked eyes
Would you give them balm for the burns you seed?
Whispering with the darkness
I saw your face in the flickering half-light
Incantations lost to your hollow reach
So, secret, the serpent waits

When the axes fall
They deafen me
Misleading thoughts
Planted infamy
Acquit your mask
A stolen plea
And if you wait
Don’t wait for me
Don't wait

Define me with hands for shaping
And measure trust in the weight of black stone
I could only watch as it fell between
Echoes can live forever
And amplify in the winding darkness
Limitations fail to assuage the guilty
And always the serpent waits

The sediment divides
And truth a relentless call
We were two birds caught in a chock-stone fate
To take the fall

Io, I only know
Wherever you lead I’ll go

Pain
Descending
It’s endless
It’s endless
Lost
To meaning
Come after me
Come after me

There’s a truth to the lies he told me
That haunts me deep inside
How a world fell to dust for leaning
On my eroding mind
But it always returns to weakness
Sleepless in the dark
When the guilt crushes me to breathless
I’ll calcify my heart

Hate
Deceiving
It's endless
It's endless
Snake
Unfeeling
Come after me
Come after me

There's a path that remains before me
The choice he stole away
Like the cold bed of rock that's opening
With every piece he takes
But it always returns to weakness
Heedless, ripped apart
Though the deed left to do is monstrous
I'll calcify my heart
