love is only careful when you think you see the future
and the stars align just right
maybe give you false hope
tearing down the only thing that even resembles a way into the chamber holding everything you ever loved and held close
i know it hurts
but only time will tell if this even fucking matters
maybe we will lose and everything will reveal itself to us
as having been a waste of time

mother do you see me when i peel away the skin?
and maybe father doesn't hear me when i'm needing help again
and all the isolation led me to was letting no one in
i needed guidance and the truth and all i got was your religion
a can of poison, laughing, and a mocking voice behind a door
was this the only fucking reason that you brought me here for?
fear is not a valid reason not to love your own son
a single hand to punish a child will never help a child up

our doors are closed

the glowing light that i see before me
inhaling words from a stranger's fingertips
the solace i feel while i am here
should be the warmth of being home

ike, chandler, miira:
break my neck
cut my tongue

ike:
breathe your hate

chandler, ike, miira:
from your lips

ike:
heaven sent just to take your place

chandler, ike:
father's hands, father's face

chandler:
bleed me into the light
lay me down to suffocate at night

ike, chandler, miira:
leave me behind

ike:
there is no nectar now in mother's milk
i am useless, i am useless

ike, miira:
sister save me
i am drowning

miira:
this is fucked
no one's here

ike, chandler:
feral in abstract
no place to call home
the cold it shakes me
right down to my bones

these yellowed claws that i use to defend myself
are the very same ones that cut you open when i want to caress your skin
another drop of blood
why does it mean so much to me?
i just wish that i could touch someone
without hurting them

god dammit look at what you've done to me
all i wanted was a family
look at what you've done to me
