lyrics

Behold this twisted carapace
A bloated frame we follow through
This dark and burning tunnel that
In ecstasy we find renews
The sinew and the bone which lay
Shattered and cast upon the snow
A portrait painted by the lack
Of guiding voice to lead it home
Now ever staring through the glass
A mute and uninvited ghost
An endless spite, a shadow that
Could never make its purpose know

I hope, I fear, a lack of feeling

Like rats leaving a sinking ship
they abandoned me
Pouring out from endless cavities
Where all emotions once dwelled
In their tumbling masses
I am the fragments of 1000 burst balloons
I am devoid of all shape and form
An escape into emptiness
Is no escape at all
A statue shattered, lain across the floor
Sunken eyes and sunken chest
Results deflated and deformed
And this is what remains
I am the puddle on the ground
Where the snowman has melted
I am bereft of all fear and drive
I am a chrysalis half formed
Not a tooth left to remember me by
So this is what remains
Twitching broken on the floor
Behold me in my formless glory
At last I am undone

I hope you know I'm numb
I hope you know I feel nothing
