Carved out in letters they left for us Ashes in every drink Severed the head; covered the body Curtain; the heavy sleep Laid up in waste; savor the taste Pen will be called to sword Arrogant courage into the rot The mind always favors war I would carry your voices I would carry your weight up in arms Impenetrable fortress of tired and distorted arcs I fear the worst is coming We must acknowledge it Detach my heart Nowhere to go The head isn't mine It's made out of stone I would fall into myself like foreign anchor Chain of my despair drags the weight through my lungs Tired, breathless, unprepared I am suffocated My cage is everywhere Diplomatic acts of love I'm cast into the sea Ripping departure; I am the rot Decaying inside of me Imprisoned inside Silent we die Imprisoned inside Silent we die Venomous Infectious nature of the heart Dissociative It ruins everything I touch Pull me back out Pull me back out Paralyzed I would fall into myself like foreign anchor Chains of my despair drag the weight through my lungs Tired, breathless, unprepared I am suffocated My cage is everywhere Doesn't matter where I go Still sinking further below Pull me back out Pull me back out
