[Chorus] Chew the shards of a leaden mouth Every word just spills right out I feel nothing I feel nothing Beneath a canopy of rot Press the bruise till it pales out All my colors bleeding down I feel nothing I feel nothing Teach me how to stay alive [Verse 1] Glass in the sockets Cracked and wrong Flayed like the life I borrowed Gulp down the guilt I can't confess Aching for less of tomorrow Leaking black ink on the windowsill Stripping the words from the label Hands in my pockets Hiding the bite in my palms Still pretending I’m stable [Pre-Chorus] Is it ink Is it mold Rooting in the lungs tonight Every breath Every laugh Choking on a wasted life [Chorus 2] Swallow the rust of a leaden mouth Every secret spills right out I feel nothing I feel nothing Beneath a canopy of rot Stain the skin till it pales out All the venom bleeding down I feel nothing I feel nothing Tell me why I’m still alive [Interlude] [Broken music-box melody] [Verse 2] Shadows with faces that move in the dark (Watching every small failure) Peeling the days back like layers of skin Can’t remember Can’t erase her I feed the mold in the cracks of the floor (They bloom into black hydrangeas) Watered by yesterday’s blood Hoping it finally changes [Bridge] Entwined in a lattice of veins Dissolving, a pale-colored ghost Every promise Coagulated The heavy price of what I chose If I reach inside the wound Will it show me what I was Or just consume the rest of me [Pre-Chorus 2] Is it lime Is it silt Bitter on the tongue tonight Every word Every breath Heavy with a wasted life [Final Chorus] Shatter the jaw of this leaden mouth Let the bitter truth spill out I feel nothing I feel nothing Drown beneath a canopy of rot Stain the marrow till it pales out Watch the last of me bleeding down I feel nothing Teach me how to stay alive [Outro] Bury me in the blackest soil Where the black hydrangeas grow I feel nothing I feel nothing But I still don’t let it go
