Текст пісні
Drowning beneath the waves
Falling through echoes of time
No quiet tick, just violent tocks
The minute hand bleeds, then stops
Like watching water boil
Or a slow trainwreck in my skull
Ethereal plains, they burn too bright
Like hell in daylight, flayed alive
Ants in my skin, or are they hornets
East coast invaders, bite by bite
You wanted the brilliance, not the flesh
Stripped me down to bone and breath
Hung me up like all the rest
Rotting trophies of conquest
You only wanted my brain
Left my heart to vultures in the rain
I mopped the filth you poured in me
Squeezed it out, froze it into shape
Waited thirty six hours in the dark
Came out smaller, uglier, fake
Thought maybe I'd be your type
But a chunk of me's still in the cement
I was the buck in your snowy yard
Dragged, displayed, and split apart
Blood for your hounds, heart on the porch
You never even cleaned the art
You wanted the brilliance, not the flesh
Stripped me down to bone and breath
Hung me up like all the rest
Rotting trophies of conquest
You only wanted my brain
Left my heart to vultures in the rain
You tossed me aside
Like carrion in your house of lies
Just so you could watch the fear
As the bullet met my eye
It's stupid, isn't it
I gave you everything
Now my skull's a shattered mirror
And my love is crawling things
You wanted the brilliance, not the flesh
Stripped me down to bone and breath
Hung me up like all the rest
Your pretty little rotting guest
You only wanted my brain
But my heart still beats beneath the pain
My flowers wilted in your frost
Vermin hum where thoughts got lost
Hope the mirror shows what's left
Of me, of you, of death
