Every rope a noose
And each knife's blade, a truth
Each day greyer than before
Unwelcome life, long in the tooth
Colors marred and queer
Ambitions disappear
The walls of shame are closing in
You’re fading fast
You just can’t breathe anymore
Can you feel your skin yet turning cold?
The Rigor Mortis is stiffening
It’s a dead life in this cold, dead world
So sink those rotten teeth right in
Let the disease within unfurl
Wrapped in silence bittersweet
A trigger pull, salvation complete
Each stifled morn' the last
Coin to ferryman passed
A tasteless tongue wags from your mouth
By plight of life, crushed in its grasp
Eyes of blind blink not
Brought forth on earth to rot
Irreparably, they’ve damaged you
An empty shell
You just can’t be anymore
And each knife's blade, a truth
Each day greyer than before
Unwelcome life, long in the tooth
Colors marred and queer
Ambitions disappear
The walls of shame are closing in
You’re fading fast
You just can’t breathe anymore
Can you feel your skin yet turning cold?
The Rigor Mortis is stiffening
It’s a dead life in this cold, dead world
So sink those rotten teeth right in
Let the disease within unfurl
Wrapped in silence bittersweet
A trigger pull, salvation complete
Each stifled morn' the last
Coin to ferryman passed
A tasteless tongue wags from your mouth
By plight of life, crushed in its grasp
Eyes of blind blink not
Brought forth on earth to rot
Irreparably, they’ve damaged you
An empty shell
You just can’t be anymore
