lyrics

As per tradition: shed tears from the cellars of your sadness
Fasten the casket that contains your memories, your fears
Lay it to rest deep inside, only to crawl about under the scales of your mind

But they’re right, I’m a skeptic by nature
And I’m sure in time it will spread like a cancer

Gnawing at my hope, scorching my sanity

How do they always find me?
I know these demons by name and they’ve memorized mine

Oh God, I know they abhor my name and chastise my ways,
But, even a broken clock is right twice a day

Life is nothing but a purpose-built sepulcher

I’ll abandon the clock, just as one forgets its endless ticking,
I’ve sewn my ankles to the shoreline
But, when their hands pierce through the surface I’ll walk away
I need to let those sailors suffocate

Lift me up
Some day I’ll look back through a different lens
And I'll remember how the waves crashed over their lifeless flesh
Lift me up, I won’t let go

Peril
We are all destined to die, and we all think we’ll welcome it
Perish
