Orestes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me in to your perfect circle
One womb, one shame, one resolve
Liberate this will to release us all
[Chorus]
Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
[Verse 2]
And from pulling you down with me here
I can almost hear you scream
[Bridge]
One more medicated, peaceful moment
Give me one more medicated, peaceful moment
And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility

[Chorus]
Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this umbilical residue
Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
[Outro]
(Snip away and sever this)
Keeping me from killing you
