A Most Unwanted Reprieve
This is the end.
Face down, in the wreckage of my former life,

This is the end.
Broken body slowly bleeding out the cracks in the floor,
Existence absent, this is goodbye.

Severed valve-stem, hope deflates, I'm lost in time,
I hold my $#&@ing breath and pray it kills my mind.
Remembrance is a cold mistress,

Hypothermic concubine,
And I can see that this is the end.
Face down, in the wreckage of my former life,

This is the end.
Broken body slowly bleeding out the cracks in the floor.
(Chorus)

With powdered glass in my throat, I come back to you,
Tormented visions of us never again,
Your powdered cheeks and solemn gaze burnt in my head,

My ethereal, loving wreck.
The earth weighs down on me as it feeds this growing dread,
As I fight to breath I can feel this life leech out of me.

My afflictions worn on my sleeve,
I shudder at the thought of you bereaved,
But still I'm fighting to let go.

Interment of a hope.
(Chorus)
Interment of all hope,

My nails peeling back for you,
Arterial weeping in the dark.
My thoughts are racing, my thrashing limbs just reinforce despair.

Inhale while the blood is still pumping,
Exhalation, desperation sets in.
My heart is racing, my aching lungs are struggling for a breath.

Say your prayers,
I dig at my flesh to end the panic,
Beg for air,

This claustrophobic entombment tears me from my soul.
Bury my will to survive.
Bury my former life.

Interment of all hope,
My nails peeling back for you,
Arterial weeping in the dark.
