lyrics

Like a knife through
Sympathetic hands
Fashion a purpose
From the dirt
Familiar reign
A silent sway
A constant bloom
Of disarray

You’ll find yourself
Weighed down
Incise, leave the
Tide mark overturned

Like a fading sign
Of upper hand
Ashened, burdened
From the dearth
Familial bane
Assailant named
A ceaseless breath
Of mockery

If I fall further cut me loose
If I fall further reel me in
