Save me from my remnants,
That flake away
From my soul.
Bury me alive,
Away from those
Who draw me in so easily.
An emotional scratching post
To them is all
I ever was,
Reach inside
My hollow chest
And finish what they started,
For I am nothing but a seed
Traversing this
Barren dirt,
Left only to
My dire thoughts,
Taking slowly my life essence.
The clouds, they overcast this
True face with a
Gilded mask,
As I'm left to
Scream beneath it,
Oh, save me from my remnants.

Save me from my remnants,
That flake away
From my soul.
Bury me alive,
Away from those
Who draw me in so easily.
An emotional scratching post
To them is all
I ever was,
Reach inside
My hollow chest
And finish what they started,
For I am nothing but a seed
Traversing this
Barren dirt,
Left only to
My dire thoughts,
Taking slowly my life essence.
The clouds, they overcast this
True face with a
Gilded mask,
As I'm left to
Scream beneath it,
Oh, save me from my remnants.
