about

I could never describe the hate I feel for you. Even now as you lay on the floor, gasping for breath, holding on to life with every ounce of strength you’ve got behind those holes you call eyes. The things you’ve done to me, the things you’ve done to them. You are truly unforgivable. A part of me feels a sense of pity for such a deeply apathetic creature. A part of me wishes I felt nothing towards you, because every minute that I spend thinking of you, even with hatred, gives strength to your fear-ridden ego. Maybe I’m not strong enough to will you out of my mind. But I can do the next best thing.

lyrics

Don’t you bow to me
I know the words you speak
Will bring me to my knees

The only god I see
Is the sun above me
The body of land below my feet

Sing to me oh wretched soul
I don’t need your heart to beat
Sing to me oh wretched soul
I don’t need your lungs to breathe

Don’t you cry to me
I know the tears you weep
Will only fall for them

The only home you see
Is the wide open sea
That will be your fitful end

Sing to me oh wretched soul
I don’t need your heart to beat
Sing to me oh wretched soul
I don’t need your lungs to breathe
