Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't fucking breathe!
[Verse 2]
The grass is all dead
But I'm choking on the weeds
Fruit decaying in the trees
Rotting branches swaying gently in the breeze
[Verse 3]
Drain me of my sanity
I can't fucking breathe
Pray for me
I can't fucking breathe
[Verse 4]
We
Are
Drowning in the lake
We
Are
Drowning in the lake
[Verse 5]
A hovering wasteland devoid of time
A cancer magnet breaking down reality
We are rotting hopelessly unaware of
Our nonexistence
[Verse 6]
Drain me of my sanity
I can't fucking breathe
Pray for me
I can't fucking breathe
[Verse 7]
I never made a promise I could keep
I close my eyes and pretend to sleep
We're only bidding our time
Barely clinging to life
I'm fucking dying inside (I'm fucking dying inside)
Pray for me
[Verse 8]
A gaping wound
Bleeding darkness into absolution
Infecting actuality
Living a constant painless death
A collection of husking corpses
Destined to stride along
In eternal ignorance
Written by: Devin Shidaker, Griffin Landa, Kevin Boutot, Thomas Smith, Vincent Bennett
