Rig the chains
And choke the steel
Clear my path
And keep my speed
Don't halt or it will swing
And knock me off my feet
Ingot mashes my cartilage
While frenzied due to lack of sleep
I hover calm as I am cemented
And yield the strength to withdrawal
Into the catacombs
From sunrise to sundown
I rig the chains
And choke the steel
There is no time to sleep
And no time to heal
There is no time to sleep
And no time to heal
Tracks on my skin
From the char through my sleeve
Black hole abyss
Surrounding path of the optics
Finger print decay
In toil and sedation
Transparent complexion
From the absence of light
The dark circles under my eyes
The pale complexion of my face
Offering every blemish
Every single fucking vein
I am longing to sob for help
As the shards sink in my flesh
Just another ailment to add on the list
Into the catacombs
From sunrise to sundown
I rig the chains
And choke the steel
There is no time to sleep
And no time to heal
There is no time to sleep
And no time to heal
Black hole abyss
Surrounding path of the optics
Finger print decay
In toil and sedation
Transparent complexion
From the absence of light
Living wage carved on the face of my gravestone
The dark circles under my eyes
The pale complexion of my transparent face
Offering every blemish
Every single fucking vein
Pale.
