lyrics
If we were laid in gold
Forever grasping
Wicked heart-wrench
Dirty serotonin drip
Torturous footsteps lead my way back up the stairs
Distant memories holding a candle to my headache
Faint smoke hardens my creases
Blood pumps thin
Deeper into the recesses
Master of unwarranted laughter
Pointed flaws sharpened by the intellect.
Ever vigilant watching the young fire sleep
The rightful heir
Past lay in dead embers
Subtle glow still chars flesh
My bones now skinless
But cast in gold
My frame gleaming in embers stained light
Glinting in faint remorse
While young fire sleeps on
