Wake up
Your sleeping tongue
Lift those shades, reveal
Daggers of wine
Concealing twisted fiber optics
Under casket shutters
Lids to our eyes
We're piece by piece
Skin fusing to a dead machine
That doesn't think or breathe for itself
So why should we
When each day brings another sweet defeat
To the skeletal curtain draped around
The mess that I call me
It's growing stronger now
Fear crawls it's way from deep down
Your denial brings me life
I felt my future manifest, it's a phantom
A bride to be until the end of time
Where every day, and every night
She's draped in black on black on black
We're piece by piece
Skin fusing to a dead machine
That doesn't think or breathe for itself
So why should we
When each day brings another sweet defeat
To the skeletal curtain draped around
The mess that I call me
Your denial brings me life
I have come to take your life
Take my hand, it's my paternal right
All I want is to take what's mine
Ease your pain I'm sharpening these daggers of wine
I have come to break you
Destroy every move you make
Suck the life from you
In fever life remains
Cutting so deeply
Numbing completely
