lyrics

take everything you meant to say
escape the lives you lived
the hearts you took to break our faith
intrepid and alone
fallen and forgotten
you were all that i had ever known

i can feel the roots
the roots are digging deeper
there are fingers in the soil
creaks in the grain
the whites of their eyes say
i came to die here today

stone statues steal us away from this, lingered
wax-winged seraphims askew
can we ask the questions of paradise
is this real

when you breathe
chances are less when you deceive
all of those around you and say
open-palmed solutions
oil-soaked delusions
we communicate

i can feel the roots
the roots are digging deeper
there are fingers in the soil
creaks in the grain
the whites of their eyes say
we came the die here today
and i came to die here today

take everything
everything you meant to say to me

how can i believe the things you said to me
when i was young
twisting the knife between my bones into my lungs

i am paradise
i am he who lies
within you echoing your afterlife
i am parasite
these vines metastasize
blood and teeth to pay the asking price

and every single lie
told from these gallows' eyes
i'll carry with me for the rest of time

my wrists will face the sky
told from these shallow lives
i'll carry with me for the rest of mine
