I once found love and held it close to my heart But I cut off its head and fed it to the lions roaring inside me Spitting it out like a cancerous chunk of lung everything comes to die inside me I once felt god all around me but when I reached out with my carrion hands I saw her whither away into the wind everything comes to die inside me I once clasped your hand tightly in mine But pulled free when you mentioned how much you cared for me Letting you hang off the edge of an abyss to free fall to your death everything comes to die inside me I once said I'd always be there I knew this was a lie the second it left my tongue But I never told you otherwise everything comes to die inside me …I only feel life for minutes or seconds at a time fully alive for months or years if I play my hand right This twisted design of faith, fate, and retaliation the life we create just to devour and digest The memories we create just to ignore and forget… everything comes to die inside me And I let it with a grin on my face And a sour look in my eyes
