Counterparts - Withdrawal lyrics

I bask in familiar flesh with no
Shelter to call my own
A sacrifice for my sickness
I’ll dig a grave for those I love
I release the teeth from my jaw
Knowing that I will miss the pain when you
Take shelter in the mouth of another
You live in the back of my throat
Spawning sentences in unison with mine

Stay safe in my breath
You will never be lost
If our attraction is only skin deep
How deep is deep enough?

I’ve made a habit out of
Grinding my bones into
A sharper point when I hear your name
And I’ve named each cut you’ve cursed me with
Though I wish I had the
Courage to ask for more
Your spirit suffocates me
You won’t find asylum inside
I never asked for your blood in my veins
So haunt me not and disappear
I am a victim, despite what you’ve heard
Forced to dwell inside of endless withdrawal
We can never coexist
So I will offer up my heart
Don’t look back and try to find me
I was always doomed to watch
You from the dark stay safe in my breath
You will never be lost
If our attraction is only skin deep
How deep is deep enough?
