Vultures ahead Quicksand below Before me, it's him The man with open palms Behind me, it's her The girl without a mouth It's like being in a locked coffin Spikes covering the velvet lining Pressing into my face, my body Not enough to break skin But enough to break me I beg to be let out. The girl hums a growl The man cracks his knuckles The coffin is sinking, And the vultures are ready The man, the girl, the vultures Want to destroy my body So maybe it's best I settle in for a final rest In this sinking coffin Where come soon, the demons will soften

Suffocation by Resign
Vultures ahead Quicksand below Before me, it's him The man with open palms Behind me, it's her The girl without a mouth It's like being in a locked coffin Spikes covering the velvet lining Pressing into my face, my body Not enough to break skin But enough to break me I beg to be let out. The girl hums a growl The man cracks his knuckles The coffin is sinking, And the vultures are ready The man, the girl, the vultures Want to destroy my body So maybe it's best I settle in for a final rest In this sinking coffin Where come soon, the demons will soften
