our bodies are but cancer
polluting distant spirits
our vision is just figment
deceiving our intentions
your hands the sidelines
lashing out with crashing doubt
are you fed up with angry shouts choraled about?
i wont wait around for anyone anymore
i wont give them the time of day to wreck my pysche
our tendons spread like cancer
connecting distant lesions
our memories fade like old bones
conceiving new direction
your hands on the sidelines
breaking pacts while counting cracks
are you fine with keeping up the act to remain intact?
it's too late for you to come around anymore
lost your face to the hungry wolves outside
so don't you wait for me to come back
and fix your crisis, cuz i won't
turn out the lights
hold your hands to your face
turn out the lights
now you know that nothing stays
