From the recordings Atropos EP and Altar (Your Sacrifice)
Sometimes love becomes a weapon of control and manipulation. All of the warmth and connection is leeched away as those things are replaced with obsession.
Lyrics
I want to cut my fingers
On all your sharpest edges
I want to memorize the texture
Of all the scars you’re bearing
I will suffer at your hands
If by my agony you find peace
I will offer up my throat
If by my end your life begins again
I’ll swallow all your hurt
And what I can’t contain
I’ll spill upon the altar
Where I’ve placed a battered
Broken cup
To hold the excess I can’t keep
Just let me be…
Your sacrifice.
I am the worthy one
A plastic doll in need of rupture
I’m a shadow in the corner
Of every crooked face you hate
You suffer at your own hand
How can I find peace while you’re still here
And I turn my eyes from you
I never asked for this
You wallow in your own hurt
That you will not contain
This broken shrine of arrogance
This waste of time and energy
You’ve asked
And time again I’ve said
I never wanted…
Your Sacrifice.
