There are blisters on my tongue

From biting it for so long

I inhaled the darkness

Dragged into hell for ransom

A devil on each shoulder

A conscience in decline

So I kept my mouth shut

But now my hands are untied

Cauterise the nerves

Who does my life serve

I just keep falling from grace

I'm decaying in this place

So now I carry my halo around my neck

Like predators that seethe

With dripping teeth

Salivating at the thought of your perpetual agony

I just can't look away

But we're sanctified

And when the prey is already impaled

We watch til we're satisfied

Cauterise the nerves

Who does my life serve

I just keep falling from grace

I'm decaying in this place

So now I carry my halo around my neck

I hear them calling my name

I can't help but walk away

So now I carry my halo around my neck

A spectator, a witness, accomplice

A conspirator, whisper the curses

Another martyr without purpose

Some flies are destined to die with the carcass

Wading in your trauma

Engulfed in your pain

Dilute my senses

And water down my veins

Throw me to the wolves

Cut out my tongue for yours

Our sins are shared

They're seeping through my pores

Cauterise the nerves

Who does my life serve

I just keep falling from grace

I'm decaying in this place

So now I carry my halo around my neck

I hear them calling my name

I can't help but walk away

So now I carry my halo around my neck
