lyrics

Spiraling downward from pedestal to grave. Caught in a landslide, buried beneath your waves. Hold it in and take the blame. Your sun has set on me.

Bite my tongue, the blood runs hot against my cheek. Choking down daggers to keep myself from sinking into the emptiness that consumes me.

Taste regret, iron, and red. Mouth the words and I'll pretend they've gone unnoticed. Taste regret, iron, and red. Mouth the words and I'll pretend to be unaffected.

This life in loathing stole everything from me.

Spiraling downward from pedestal to grave. Caught in a landslide, buried beneath your waves. Hold it in and take the blame. Your sun has set on me.

I'll brace myself for when it all turns black again.

Eclipsed by you, and silhouetted in your dying light. Separate petal from vine and find comfort in infertile soil. For every shadow cast bleeds out in sync with the rest, dilate and cast aside the red that shields your eyes. Expand and take shape in my chest, your roots still constricting my spine, holding whispers back against my best intentions.

Even in my darkest hour, I never wished the worst for you.

With all that separates me, I won't make it out of this life in loathing. I won't make it out alive. So hold it in and take the blame or let me choke if it's all the same.

Your sun has set on me.
