Slow Sour Bleed

Breathe in the smoke, oh Hide the key, try to sleep To pause the illusion you're under Patient beasts show their teeth Alone in a forest to wander I lie awake with one eye open To watch you take your place Wounds engraved in the fault line Shadows die in the starlight Primal rage to sedate lucid memory Salvation of the undone Atrocity beyond your dreams A dogmatic culling your wonder Surfacing to bleed the leech Bury a box with me under Those thoughts are a cold dark place Conspiratorial towards the human race Are we men or deserted islands With origins unknown to define our violence? I lie awake with one eye open Wounds engraved in the fault line Shadows die in the starlight Primal rage to sedate lucid memory Salvation of the undone Salt and ash in the sunrise Jagged edge in the riptide Fragile things vanishing in the in-between Salvation of the undone Breathe in the smoke Nothing grows in eternity Certainty is dead and gone Indifference is a gift in love and extinction Humanity is an open wound Nothing grows in eternity, pain is the answer Wounds engraved in the fault line Shadows die in the starlight Primal rage to sedate lucid memory Salvation of the undone Salt and ash in the sunrise Jagged edge in the riptide Fragile things vanishing in the in-between Salvation of the undone Nothing grows in eternity
