lyrics

Splintered there before me were people I once knew
Hopelessly deciding which piece could be their truth
Nothing ever seems to align the same again
Nothing ever seems to align

Outside of our bodies will we align again
Left without parts within and sifting through this skin
Reached for something breathing while sinking

Corrosion close to home this
Garden claimed the land that was
To be my throne I reach for something
Breathing, pushing, daises leads
To curdling bones nothing ever
Seems to align
Align the same again

Lingering in vibrant hues and laced with self deceit
The chemicals reminding of the patterns that repeat

Atop the peak confusion speaks to what’s beneath the crop
Curdling bones clashing with stones to claim their sacred soil

Left without parts within
Sifting through this skin

Reached for something breathing as I
Quickly sunk back in
This through the end
There must exist
Some pleasure, a laugh, or gasp
Of lust, for life
To measure
The people I once knew
But imitation of the truth
That I was really him
And there was never you
