I am standing on the edge of a cliff
Trying to admire the view
But I can't forget why I came...
"It's not about you,
It's not about you"
Well, fuck you, you can't feel what I'm going through.
If I drain the blood from your veins
And decant it into your lungs
Take to your brittle ribcage with a chisel
Until your heart falls right out
Now let's brim that empty space with rage
'Til you grind your teeth to sand
Come dear, step into my soul for a while
'Cause the Ghost is making my plans
I feel the earth start to give
And step back towards the familiar pain
As though life were the relapse
If I drain the blood from your veins
And decant it into your lungs
Take to your brittle ribcage with a chisel
Until your heart falls right out
Now let's brim that empty space with rage
'Til you grind your teeth to sand
Come dear, step into my soul for a while
'Cause the Ghost is making my plans
The earth starts to give
"We need you"
"We need you"
"We need you"
...but I don't.
"We need you"
"We need you"
"We need you..."
