[Verse 1] Where do I bury this ache inside? It walks my veins, a ghost I can’t outrun. Every scar you carved, every pill you swallowed— I wear them like a noose, undone. [Chorus 1] Tear me open, pour me out— This venom’s got your name. Wash me ‘til the morphine fades, But the stain remains the same. Hold me… hold me… ‘Til it sleeps. [Verse 2] Fed you hope, now it starves us both, A stray curse gnawing at its chain. Your laughter’s etched in every scan, A ghostlight in an empty frame. [Chorus 2] It grips you so, it twists you so— A fist where your heart once beat. Dirt still stains these trembling hands, Scrubbing clean what we can’t defeat. Hold me… hold me… ‘Til it sleeps. [Verse 3] Don’t want your war, don’t want your scars— This battlefield’s a script I’ll burn. Don’t want it! Your silence screams in every room, A requiem I never earned. [Chorus 3] I’ll tear me open, make you gone— But the fear still breaks these bones. Wash me ‘til the IV’s dry, But the hate still carves its throne. Hold me… hold me… ‘Til it sleeps. [Bridge] [Whispered Vocals] “I don’t want it… I don’t want it…” [Screamed Vocals] “I DON’T WANT YOUR EMPTY BED! I DON’T WANT YOUR FINAL BREATH!” [Interlude] [dissonant guitar whine] Your voice on the machine… Delete. Your coat on the rack… Burn. Your face in the mirror… Shatter. [Chorus 4] Tear me open, pour me out— This venom’s your legacy. Wash me ‘til the monitors flatline, But the stain outlives you and me. Hold me… hold me… ‘Til it sleeps. [Outro] “‘Til it sleeps… ‘Til it sleeps… ‘Til it…”
