[Verse 1]
Desperate
Deranged
Talking in my sleep again
Eyes twitch
Retain
A sentimental something
"[...] looked on, and we burned, and burned! --
I was a cinder body and soul in my dream."
[Chorus 1]
Breakdown amidst the mixtures
Avoid addictive plea
Responding disillusion
Encrusted cruelty
Describe why nails enclose me
Eating so evenly
There exists a lot of reasons
To support fatality
[Verse 2]
Abstinence possessed
Hardly what you think it is
Hearts beat positive
Provided there's progress
Ignorance does insist
Of the right coffin
"I took some of the food he offered me
Crossing myself [...] and drank the wine
Which the feverish thirst of terror [...]"
[Chorus 2]
Breakdown amidst the mixtures
Avoid addictive plea
Insist that nothing happened
Chilled bloodless fatigue
Recharge with bitterness
Fanatics beckoning
Mistook a look impassioned
Absorbed with clarity
[Bridge]
Consciousness drifts away
Discarded memory
Packaged shelf life bad display
[Chorus 3]
Breakdown amidst the mixtures
Avoid addictive plea
Excessive near romances
Comfort is treachery
So pound the nails in tight
Eyes screaming out of sight
Against a grain like curtain
Unbearably alive
