My soul seeps through the floor boards I pray to the lord he'll take me with a flaming sword The chords have wrapped around my wrist and feet My fingers bleed like mold dripping from my missing ceiling There's not a scream left in me Not a voice You drown it out when you create voids Digging past my surface planting hurtful words and poisoning purity I took all the mirrors down They reflect the mildew of grief Anguish supreme Reign of anger and hate I mourn for what was torn out of me I cannot write what is intangible Unforeseen I just want to forget what's happening Which is why I'm done writing I can't speak so I can't use words to truly express anything The chords around my wrist and feet are on my throat in my mouth Weep Vocal chords vibrating from the shaking of cold rigid fear Fear I find when I awake mid-night crying out for No one and nothing... nowhere.

My soul seeps through the floor boards I pray to the lord he'll take me with a flaming sword The chords have wrapped around my wrist and feet My fingers bleed like mold dripping from my missing ceiling There's not a scream left in me Not a voice You drown it out when you create voids Digging past my surface planting hurtful words and poisoning purity I took all the mirrors down They reflect the mildew of grief Anguish supreme Reign of anger and hate I mourn for what was torn out of me I cannot write what is intangible Unforeseen I just want to forget what's happening Which is why I'm done writing I can't speak so I can't use words to truly express anything The chords around my wrist and feet are on my throat in my mouth Weep Vocal chords vibrating from the shaking of cold rigid fear Fear I find when I awake mid-night crying out for No one and nothing... nowhere.
