lyrics

Love as an ideal mirrors the killing of a child deprived of sanctity and innocence. What's left is thrust through a mill, shaped to a notion of a holy body, then put forth on a plate. Devour the remains of guilt, drink the iron liquid. Indulge with a blotted soul, for there's no other vigil like this. Affection's an atrocity incapable of paling in comparison, as there's no spectrum for its measure. The promise of pestilence redeemed with an imbued stomach. There will be a life well-spent in indolence, for there's no other vigil like this. My heart burns with disgust towards my image – a malformed capsule of putrid flesh meant to ascend through a wretched lapse. I can't feel the air that surrounds me. I can't feel the ache that envelops me. I can't feel the past that haunts me. There's no other vigil like this.

“Oh lord give me strength to withstand the weight of these days, when the tears I've drawn from the eyes of people once loved accumulate to a leviathan tidal wave washing over my body. Heartfelt memories distilled to mere faint glints of light through my hand, harmless vows scorched to acrid pleas, limbs and bones twitching, twisting, cracking open. As tarnished as we are, we're all eventually of the same flesh. Submerged in claret depths, I've never felt warmth quite like this. Oh lord give me strength to withstand the weight of these days.”
