love is only careful when you think you see the future

and the stars align just right

maybe give you false hope

tearing down the only thing that even resembles a way into the chamber holding everything you ever loved and held close

i know it hurts

but only time will tell if this even fucking matters

maybe we will lose and everything will reveal itself to us

as having been a waste of time

mother do you see me when i peel away the skin?

and maybe father doesn't hear me when i'm needing help again

and all the isolation led me to was letting no one in

i needed guidance and the truth and all i got was your religion

a can of poison, laughing, and a mocking voice behind a door

was this the only fucking reason that you brought me here for?

fear is not a valid reason not to love your own son

a single hand to punish a child will never help a child up

our doors are closed

the glowing light that i see before me

inhaling words from a stranger's fingertips

the solace i feel while i am here

should be the warmth of being home

ike, chandler, miira:

break my neck

cut my tongue

ike:

breathe your hate

chandler, ike, miira:

from your lips

ike:

heaven sent just to take your place

chandler, ike:

father's hands, father's face

chandler:

bleed me into the light

lay me down to suffocate at night

ike, chandler, miira:

leave me behind

ike:

there is no nectar now in mother's milk

i am useless, i am useless

ike, miira:

sister save me

i am drowning

miira:

this is fucked

no one's here

ike, chandler:

feral in abstract

no place to call home

the cold it shakes me

right down to my bones

these yellowed claws that i use to defend myself

are the very same ones that cut you open when i want to caress your skin

another drop of blood

why does it mean so much to me?

i just wish that i could touch someone

without hurting them

god dammit look at what you've done to me

all i wanted was a family

look at what you've done to me
