Am I Still Among the Living
Something isn't right this place is
Filling up with all my faces
Staring back at me unblinking
They speak for and do my thinking
This place was supposed to be my
Shelter from the cold and the eye
Once or twice I told a lie but truth is that I
NEED YOU
Moving in a way that I don't know
Bending light the clouds begin to glow
Travel through the air and into me
Then before the edge I start to see
There's a man pouring some gasoline
Making sure he covers everything
But he doesn't let the family out
I'm behind him and he turns around
I ask him if he knows where to go
He looks me up and down really slow
Take your clothes off and give them to me
I can make you one, it isn't free
Right before my eyes he starts to make
Clothing made of skin and human hate
But before he hands the gown to me
Suddenly his eyes are full of greed
What you want is not a simple task
For this clothing I ask for a match
I don't leave them where I most expect
Now I have no way to resurrect
After giving him the match I change
Into my new skin there is no pain
Wraps around my body lovingly
Helping my mind find the way to see
Suddenly it's become obvious
Where the monster is inside of us
Stepping for me I need only wait
My new clothing knows the path to take
For a day or two I stumble on
Skin's alive but power's almost gone
Then I climb atop the rocky ash
See a mouth among the rotten trash
Walking towards the center of it
Squeezing through the teeth and rubbish
Swallow me whole, fucking do it
Spit me out and drag me through it
If I drew a line, I'm passed it
Thought you would be mine, I'm passed it
Let me go, please let me go, I need to go I
HATE YOU
Once inside it feels that this is
Locked up tight from start to finish
Tearing at the walls I'm bleeding
Give it more it won't stop feeding
Each and every time I touch it
Part of me becomes just like it
Consuming my flesh it starts to feel just like I
LOVE YOU
Waking from a dream that isn't
Mine, I'm still inside a prison
Vision inside of a vision
Am I still among the living?
Is this finally undoing
All that you have done, but through me?
I am you and you are me that's why I cannot
SHAKE YOU
Have you ever seen the very
Flesh you're made of melt away?
See your bones working their way
Out your skin like it is clay?
Searing in the guts of many
Years of hate, disgust and pity
Now I know that I am done but I have won so
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
Filling up with all my faces
Staring back at me unblinking
They speak for and do my thinking
This place was supposed to be my
Shelter from the cold and the eye
Once or twice I told a lie but truth is that I

Moving in a way that I don't know
Bending light the clouds begin to glow
