What Could It Be (scrapped demo)

[Verse 1]
Tectonic tribulations
Sickness that sweeps the nations
Beyond these tiny things just
Somethin' tells me this is deeper

[Verse 2]
Our minds are special forces
Body bags that cover corpses
Let it make some sense to me that
There's a reason i couldn't keep her

[Verse 3]
I couldn't see.. I couldn't've seen it!
There's nothin' left, but I can't just leave her be, no!

[Verse 4]
You cast your sight on dreams to ferry ‘fore you count all your coins
Others will comfort saying they’ve seen hell and back— Oh really?
Well in this game of glee, turns out the losers make them always

[Pre-Chorus]
I should’ve stopped before I started, and thought— “How silly!”

[Chorus]
What could it be?
What could it be!?
I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

[Verse 5]
Played off the fundamentals
For in the moment we must
But it’s inconsequential
The norm is not for both of us
She thinks it’s for the better
But I still know how she lies

[Verse 6]
When past apocalypse she’d
Spread her falsehood from the other side
And since our part
It’s eaten my heart, (girl)
Where’s all the fun, when I
TEAR THEIR BODS APART, (NOW)

[Verse 7]
You throw discretion out the window when you try to be kind
But once they leave your zone you’re sittin in the cold — it’s chillin’!
You ponder, pining what may happen, or who could be the next

[Pre-Chorus]
I should’ve stopped before I started, and thought— “How silly!”

[Chorus]
What could it be?
What could it be!?
I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 8]
You cast your sight on dreams to ferry ‘fore you count all your coins
Others will comfort saying they’ve seen hell and back— Oh really?
Well in this game of glee, turns out the losers still made the choice
I should’ve stopped before I started, and thought— “How silly!”

[Verse 9]
I knew myself well ‘fore this flower took to me for tending
So what’s the point with just the blood for watering — So teary!
But still it wilts away, and of the two, it’s wiltin’ slowly
I stand here dead and done, and I have to ask: What’s killin‘ me?

[Outro]
What could it be?
What could it be?
I couldn’t see
Or was it me
Who cut us free?
What could it be?

I just can’t take it any moo-o-o-ooore
