lyrics

I hang a robe upon the bloody hook
A disconnect
From all the stars that slowly dim as if to genuflect
An altercation that I hoped would circumvent a curse
An allegation that would render all my limbs inert

Your sect to a hilt (my wrath until)
You go and stir that sword
Don’t value your worth (as if it hurts)
Shaping your guise into an homage to a virtue

For berating the one that you adore
My only failings in a bid to learn anything
Don’t call my bluff if you’re not anxious

Heightened by it
Salient too
Bloated and rotund
But just in case

I had a feeling that it would have meant a lot to her
In spite of that your only motive is to make it worse
For all the risk I know I should have been more wary of
Decapitation as a token of my only love
