lyrics

MAYBE I’LL MEANDER TO THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI, DESTROY THE STONE ARCH BRIDGE AND LET THE RIVER DRAG ME DOWN, OR FIND MYSELF ATOP THE TALLEST MOUNTAIN IN THE WORLD AS YOU STRAP ME TO THE ZIGGURAT AND CUT MY HEART OUT.
NO BLOOD, NO BONE, NO TISSUE. WOULD THAT SOLVE EVERY ISSUE? DESTROY MY BODY, HIT THE BRAKES, AND FADE TO BLACK AS YOU SHUFFLE ME OFF THIS MORTAL COIL. WE’RE A PRISON - A VESSEL - WE’RE NOTHING TO BE LOVED.

BUT JUST BECAUSE I HATE THIS WORLD DOESN’T MEAN I WANNA DIE.
JUST BECAUSE IT’S POINTLESS DOESN’T MEAN WE SHOULDN’T TRY.
I WILL PUSH THIS BOULDER UP THIS MOUNTAIN TILL IT ROLLS BACK DOWN AND CRUSHES ME INTO THE DIRT AND I WILL CALL THIS GRAVE MY HOME.

BREAK MY BONES AND EAT MY FLESH, SAVE MY SOUL, DISCARD THE REST. LEAVE ME AS A SUNKEN FREIGHTER DASHED UPON THE ROCKS.
SPITTING BILE AND BLOOD INSIDE THE OUROBOROS, MY SOUL WILL TURN TO POISON AS MY BODY ROTS.
PRY OPEN MY COFFIN AND PLUNDER WHAT YOU FIND INSIDE COS I’LL BE GONE OR BURNING IN HELL OR TURNING OVER WITH THE SAND INSIDE THE HOURGLASS.

BUT JUST BECAUSE I HATE THIS WORLD DOESN’T MEAN I WANNA DIE.
JUST BECAUSE IT’S POINTLESS DOESN’T MEAN WE SHOULDN’T TRY.
I WILL PRESS MY HANDS INTO THE EONS AS ON WAX AND WHEN THE REAPER COMES TO CLAIM MY SOUL I GUARANTEE HE’LL KNOW MY NAME.

REANIMATED FLESH REDUCING ME TO A BUBBLING BLACK ICHOR IN MY VEINS
