[INTRO] (Spacious post-rock delay. A slow, deliberate bass pulse. The sound of heat. Let this breathe for 30 seconds before the vocal starts.) Saltwater ate the rust- The mass behind my eyes turned to dust in the heat. (exhale) I was shed of the heavy skin- As I left a Kingdom of Mercy- My Spine was re-aligned- My Blood was purified My Wings Replaced I was breathing in a new air- I was finally something more- [VERSE 1] (The drums enter: a tight, anxious, syncopated groove. The guitars are clean but angular.) And there you were- AND THERE YOU WERE- Ignorant to my transit- I Was Terrified at the sight- You were Brandishing a gold knife- And I'd Forgotten how to fly- I told myself it was fine That it was a new dawn- How wrong I was- When you stripped my skin- And told me I should Love it -And how cruel of You To view me with such indifferent eyes- -To twist me back in on myself [BRIDGE] (Softened - Harmonized, ethereal Nier Automata style clean vocals. Prolonged, hanging chords.) Oh, how easily you were able to destroy me- [2 Part Transition into the Chorus] [CHORUS] (Detonation. A massive wall of sound. Heavy, wide, devastating chords. Desperate and overwhelming.) Was it satisfying for you to Devour me? To watch me bleed at your Altar- To break me to your will- Was it satisfying for you to Devour me? To watch me be Torn Apart? Unable to crawl away- As I left a Kingdom of Mercy- My Spine was re-aligned- My Blood was purified [Verse 1 - Reprisal Part 1 - Re-alignment] My Wings Replaced I was breathing in a new air- I was finally something more- [Verse 1 - Reprisal Part 2] It was a new dawn- How wrong I was- When you stripped my skin- And told me I should Love it -And how cruel of You To view me with such indifferent eyes- [Re-align] -To twist me back in on myself [BRIDGE] (Softened - Harmonized, ethereal Nier Automata style clean vocals. Prolonged, hanging chords.) Oh, how easily you were able to destroy me- [2 Part Transition into the Chorus] [CHORUS] (Detonation. A massive wall of sound. Heavy, wide, devastating chords. Desperate and overwhelming.) Was it satisfying for you to Devour me? To watch me bleed at your Altar- To break me to your will- Was it satisfying for you to Devour me? To watch me be Torn Apart? Unable to crawl away- [BRIDGE - Reprise] (Harmonized, ethereal Nier Automata style clean vocals. Prolonged, hanging chords.) Oh, how easily you were able to destroy me- Was it satisfying for you to Devour me? To watch me bleed at your Altar- To break me to your will- Was it satisfying for you to Devour me? To watch me be Torn Apart? Unable to crawl away- [BRIDGE - Repeated Devastated] (Harmonized, ethereal Nier Automata style clean vocals. Prolonged, hanging chords.) Oh, how easily you were able to destroy me- Was it satisfying for you to Devour me? Was it satisfying for you to Devour me? Was it satisfying for you to Devour me? Was it satisfying for you to Devour me?
