Lyrics

I choke on my tongue
And I'm gone
You stay like a scar
I felt you
Before
The stories I've heard
They end, in the blood
And it’s okay
But I'm not sure
I’m ready
To see the red
Up here on the precipice
A great divide
The fall of a lifetime
The fall of a lifetime
The words they fall like ash
From a jeweled mouth
Half sunken
Half forgotten
It’s all the same to me
To be a leper on a pulpit
I wish you’d spit just once
And taste your opium
I wish to bleed the lung
Speak, say what’s on your mind
Rend the flesh
From favored touch
Dare to breathe
Dare to breathe for me
Rip away the ivory
Expose the bone
The heroin
Crush a pill for your sanity
Trust the soul, not the suffering
You’re dying to feel alive
Floating weightless deaf and blind
Would it kill you to kill your pride
You’re dying to feel alive
Dying to feel alive
The words they fall like ash
From a jeweled mouth
Half sunken
Half forgotten
It’s all the same to me
To be a leper on a pulpit
