With Loving Arms Disfigured

For you I begged

For you

I begged and you were gone

For you I begged

For you

For you I begged and you were gone

Sorrowed are the eyes deprived of light

Sealed shut, yet certain of descent

Silenced was the heart deprived of pulse

Paralyzed, falling from frail hands

Drown the wound that is my open mouth

Tearing breath from my contorting throat

Chosen plague, welcomed cancer spread

With flooding lungs, I drank and ached for more

Shelter those who gather underneath my draining wrists

Shielded from the scars unworthy of a stare

For you, I reached and you weren't there

Cleanse the wounds left with you to mourn

Waste no breath on souls you failed to save

Chosen plague

Cancer I reclaim from flooded lungs

You drink and ache for more

For you I begged

Begged and you were gone

For you I begged

Begged and you were gone

Shelter those who gather underneath my draining wrists

Shielded from the scars unworthy of a stare

For you I reached and you weren't there

Shelter those who gather underneath my draining wrists

With loving arms disfigured, I reached for you and you weren't there

You weren't there
