lyrics

I have seen the future in a vision.
In it I saw a corpse wearing my skin. Withers ‘til it’s paper thin,
Melts into a skeleton and it’s gone.
I’m left with an empty heart and an empty soul,
and I have lost each piece trying to be whole.
We each got a cut
Of Hemingway’s heart and Sexton’s soul.
Well I know that I’m a heavy load,
in tough terrain I’ll be the first to go.
To whom it may concern,
Can you be concerned about me?
The bait’s so good it’s worth it getting trapped.
I feel my shadow and I hear him laugh.
But I find nothing funny,
I’m a poison that tastes like honey, yeah I’m tempting.
I’ve buried my past selves in a tomb of skin.
I’ve found each and every one in the womb again. Some light can’t be seen.
Not all my wounds bleed, but none are healing.
