I Won’t Come Back Alive

My body is taken by the cells inside
They'll consume me, hollow
Turn me dry
I've got no way to fight this on my own
Whatever ails me fades a stable soul

Turn up the lights, sear it away

Now it's unending; fills the body wide
How long 'til this common life will fold

Turn up the lights, sear it away
It's what you can't know
I won't come back alive

Both eyes retire
All bones are dark
Down to dust
