lyrics

I never want to break like this again,
This doesn't mend
suspended by the wrists til you comprehend,
This cold corrosive consciousness killing all my kin,

glass tied to a rip chord ‘til I drop,
Lost to the world
But I'm not
Just a soul caught fallen in the mold
Boxed up and away rooted to the spot
In the dirt I will stay, head in the clouds as I rot

I’ve been damned
destitute and afraid,
Scammed by the institute
maimed by the day,
Deafened and mute,
blinded by flame,
hatred in suits
ignited by a name,

I’m broken to mend
Rent by the bending
Of my bones,
No ego to defend
Break me til you feel at home,
I'm perfectly Rent,
No notes,
No complaints,
Or contradictions,
I've cast me off this peak
By my own volition
So Gild me and hide these scars,
Fill me so I only break at bars,
Seal me so I can't speak
Or spill these secrets that I keep,
I see their face as I sleep,
Nighttime demons in the deep,
I've stitched me up so i won't miss,
No more crimson leaking from these lips,

Hallelujah,
Grace is sifted from this mess,
Tell me how could ya
Face your demons in your test?
I'm already through the
Maze you place me into
And raced and chased, out paced
The pain you put me through
Do you think you've had your fun,
Berating and breaking everyone,
Do you think you're the only one
Preaching a solitary interpretation
Weak willed and alone On a stage of your own creation
I admit I'm a little out of touch with your revelation,


Do I sound like your next pastime?
A person to place your hate into
I've already spent mine,
I took it in and breathed on through,
But you scream and shout judgment here,
Where only echoes and epitaphs greet your ears
And until you're brave enough to to face your fears,
You'll scar and mar those you're trying to speak to
And
I never want to break like this again,
This doesn't mend
suspended by the wrists til you comprehend,
This cold corrosive consciousness killing all my kin,
