Counterparts - Purer Form of Pain lyrics
[Counterparts - Purer Form of Pain lyrics]
I've saved a drop of blood for
When I truly need it most
To be distributed among the parasites
I've saved a drop of blood for
When I truly need it most
To be exchanged for a purer form of pain
My ribcage will replace a ladder's rungs
Leading me towards the ceiling of my curse
As the earth falls upward from the ground
Where I collapse in sunken skies
I am but one man
And the sorrow I have salvaged won't sustain
Murder me in the silence I have lived in
My fingernails won't hold a torch
That mirrors my reflection
Murder me in the silence I have lived in
No trace of tension could coerce
The composition from my skull
Like a currency reserved for skeletons
I will deny a high regard
Sick to my stomach at the
Distance to the ground
My ribcage will replace a ladder's rungs
Leading you towards the depth of my despair
We collapse inside the walls
That close before us
Murder me in the silence I have lived in
A fabrication to appease the ones who suffer
Don't call me your protector
I couldn't keep myself from caving in
Don't call me your protector
A war against myself I'll never win
I've saved a drop of blood for
When I truly need it most
To be distributed among the parasites
I've saved a drop of blood for
When I truly need it most
To be exchanged for a purer form of pain
When I truly need it most
To be distributed among the parasites
I've saved a drop of blood for
When I truly need it most
To be exchanged for a purer form of pain
My ribcage will replace a ladder's rungs
Leading me towards the ceiling of my curse
As the earth falls upward from the ground
Where I collapse in sunken skies
I am but one man
And the sorrow I have salvaged won't sustain
Murder me in the silence I have lived in
My fingernails won't hold a torch
That mirrors my reflection
Murder me in the silence I have lived in
No trace of tension could coerce
The composition from my skull
Like a currency reserved for skeletons
I will deny a high regard
Sick to my stomach at the
Distance to the ground
My ribcage will replace a ladder's rungs
Leading you towards the depth of my despair
We collapse inside the walls
That close before us
Murder me in the silence I have lived in
A fabrication to appease the ones who suffer
Don't call me your protector
I couldn't keep myself from caving in
Don't call me your protector
A war against myself I'll never win
I've saved a drop of blood for
When I truly need it most
To be distributed among the parasites
I've saved a drop of blood for
When I truly need it most
To be exchanged for a purer form of pain
