6 and 2

(Verse 1) Cold iron veins split like rotting rope The pulse is dead, the meat starts to choke Teeth of the void punch through the chest wall Rip out the heart, still twitching, still small Bones rearrange with wet, grinding cracks Marrow spills black down the spine’s broken track No prayer left, just the stench of open gut Only the weight of the thing crawling up (Chorus) Become the body Bleed into the whole Become the body Surrender the soul Flesh is the altar, blood is the key Become the body And cease to be (Verse 2) Eyes turn inward, the sockets flood red A thousand mouths open down the raw back of your head Whispers crawl under the dermis like worms “You were never anything but this form” Heart slows to a wet, final slap Lungs collapse, filling with thick black sap Ribs stretch and snap to make room for the night Your last breath is swallowed in one hungry bite (Chorus) Become the body Bleed into the whole Become the body Surrender the soul Flesh is the altar, blood is the key Become the body And cease to be (Bridge) No more “I” No more “mine” Only the hunger Gnawing the spine Crawl into the black Let the organs unfold You are the vessel Now cold… now cold Skin peels back in long, sticky sheets Muscle tears free from the bone in wet strips Intestines coil around the new shape Liver and lungs feed the thing that escapes (Final Chorus – heavier, slower) Become the body Bleed into the whole Become the body Abandon control Flesh is the altar, blood is the key Become the body And cease… to be(Outro) Become… the body… Feel it take the tongue Feel it take the eyes Feel the last warm piece of you Die.
