My Last Nervous Breath

Wring it out of me
The last drop of sweat
My last nervous breath
I can't retain anything now anyway
A couple times I've wept
Most secrets I have kept
My soul has left
My feet are giving way
I grow closer to dying every day

I couldn't see any light
So I kept on digging
'Til the earth buried me
I traded dead end for dead end
For the deadest end

I couldn't see any light
So I kept on digging
'Til my world fell around me
I traded dead end for dead end
For my fucking end

The days are longer than ever
And I never have enough time
The nights more suffocating than ever
Can't seem to drive this tired mind

I swear there's no clear path that's been defined
Can't seem to drive this tired mind
I swear there's no clear path that's been defined

The ones who stand where I should be
Can do their jeering
The sound of my crumbling bones
Is all I'm hearing

I don't know how to stop
Hacking away at the fucking scar tissue

I don't know how to stop
Hacking away at the scar tissue
Don't know how to stop
Hacking away at the scar tissue

Always reminded of
Our disconnected discourse
I immerse myself in
What I'm reading
What I'm hearing
The world outside can do its jeering

Always reminded of
Our disconnected discourse
I immerse myself in
What I'm reading
What I'm hearing
The sound of my crumbling bones is
All I'm hearing

I keep hacking away at the fucking scar tissue

The damage was never as bad
As they say, anyway
So I'll keep pulling at wounds
That never heal
I just keep tearing out obstructions
I know one day I'll be okay
I just keep tearing out obstructions
One day I'll be okay

I swear there was no clear path
That I could find
So I take the seal of death
And fucking sign

I swear there was no clear path
That I could find
So I take the seal of death and sign
