Licking My Wounds

There's nothing for me here
I'm losing my humanity
I'm so sickened that it's crippling me
Lack of space, a claustrophobic place
A hurricane on a calm sea
As good as you can be
But it doesn't change the fact
That you left me high and dry
And I won't let it stop
Until I cut you out
If I leave you in then you'll just rot
I'm burning your tongue
While you're filling my lungs
Let me bleed, let me bleed

Try to keep a steady grip
But you won't stop your hands from shaking
It's another black hole to feed
More than a stepping stone to me
A lighthouse in the dark
Slip through the cracks, leave your mark
I follow your lead
You're not what I need
And now you're on your own

I let a passing thought control my life
Now it's stuck in my back like a fucking knife
Right where you left it
After all, you spent so much time making sure it'd fit
There's a stillness in the air
Can you smell my fear?

For once in my existence I am not the problem
Ignore all yours, too pathetic to solve them
The flesh leaves the bone and it finds its way home
This is all set in stone

Try to keep a steady grip
But you won't stop your hands from shaking
It's another black hole to feed
More than a stepping stone to me
A lighthouse in the dark
Slip through the cracks, leave your mark
I follow your lead
You're not what I need
And now you're on your own

Stitch yourself in the seams that hold my body together
I'll never be free cause you're a part of me
Whether I like it or not
Damned till my pulse drops
Or your heart stops
I feel you creeping
I feel you creeping under skin

Until I cut you out
If I leave you in then you'll just rot
I'm hemorrhaging underneath
While you're foaming at the teeth
Let me bleed, let me bleed

There's something haunting
In the way you look at me
When I see you
I see everything the devil should be
Let me bleed
Please let me bleed
