Lyrics

[00:12.14] My anguish told you
[00:16.02]
[00:17.46] A persistent lie
[00:20.40]
[00:22.21] The parasitic circuits that you push by wheel
[00:26.83]
[00:27.70] Were spoken to me every time
[00:31.90]
[00:34.33] And like a charlatan
[00:38.40] You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time
[00:43.77]
[00:45.27] These pacts we keep in secret
[00:50.20] Are drinking from a well that was cured by drought
[00:54.71]
[01:07.39] My torment adores you
[01:10.52]
[01:12.65] When my strings are tied
[01:16.40]
[01:18.02] Out of compulsion I must decimate
[01:21.83]
[01:22.71] The sapless embryonic miles
[01:26.83]
[01:29.40] And like a charlatan
[01:33.70] You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time
[01:38.89]
[01:40.08] These pacts we keep in secret
[01:45.52] Are drinking from a well that was cured by drought
[01:49.90]
[01:51.40] My knives are burrowed voices
[01:56.02] Twisted by the handle so they won't let go
[02:01.02]
[02:02.02] These limbs are idle creatures
[02:07.14] Extensions of a spirit that has no control
[02:12.52]
[02:13.40] My heart is trapped inside
[02:17.83] And I refuse to accept this throne
[02:22.63]
[02:35.58] My night's unfolding
[02:39.01]
[02:40.14] Reads like a page of test results
[02:44.27]
[02:46.52] This sterile codex
[02:50.33]
[02:51.08] Is missing all my life's resolve
[02:55.20]
[02:57.26] And like a charlatan
[03:01.39]
[03:02.27] You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time
[03:07.20]
[03:08.33] These pacts we keep in secret
[03:13.70] Are drinking from a well that was cured by drought
[03:18.58]
[03:19.27] And like a charlatan
[03:23.33]
[03:24.14] You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time
[03:29.58]
[03:30.33] These pacts we keep in secret
[03:35.83] Are drinking from a well that was cured by drought
