Stitch By Stitch

I've fought it
Time and time again
Unending questions
No fucking answers
But if it's any consolation
I feel it as you do

I feel it as you do

Where are we now?
End of my patience
How can we pretend that we're strangers?
Why can't we have a common conversation?
Your voice carries pestilence

A death in me created
Battered and suffocated
We both can see it
Only one of us aches
And I can't conceive it

If you could feel the torment I do
Even for a second
Your breath would fear your body

Now you bear witness
To the massacre that you left behind
Beyond forgiveness
Akin to this body you left to die

A death in me created
Battered and suffocated
We both can see it
Only one of us aches
And I can't conceive it

If you could feel the torment I do
Even for a second
Your breath would fear your body

One day I hope you'll see like I do
Even for a second
Your eyes would melt away

Please make me whole again
All the tendons and viscera
Flayed out to operate
Just fucking look at me

Epidermis scored through as an animal's
Gurgling blood you vacuum up
I lie here miserable

Stitch by stitch
My body rejects
Stitch by stitch
My body rejects

If you could feel the torment I do

If you could feel the torment I do
Even for a second
Your breath would fear your body

One day I hope you'll see like I do
Even for a second
Your eyes would melt away

Now you bear witness
To the massacre that you left behind
Beyond forgiveness
Akin to this body you left to die

Now you bear witness
To the massacre that you left behind
Beyond forgiveness
Akin to this body you left to die

Bear witness
Bear witness
Stitch by stitch
My body rejects
