The Mara Effect, Pt.1

(album: Spiritbox - 2017)

I am never truly alone
Acceptance is slipping in, gripping limbs
Its crooked fingers intertwine
They cradle us together
A hundred years alone could never

Make it stop, push it back
I cannot fit, I cannot feel
They should not see, suspended in time
And their eyes are like razors
The edges can sharpen the line

This is love, this is ordinary life
What a thrill stringing up splendid lights to paralyze

They burn to the touch
Pretending at God
Listen to the blood
Razor blade eyes

I want a Goddamn mess
To ignite the fire
I want to lie in severance
Leave me to cut my teeth
Pretending at God is a custom
The vessel to siphon my love from
Their eyes are a razor to cut me down
Cut me down
This is love

This is love, this is ordinary life
What a thrill cheap enough to get caught on the edge this time

Razor blade eyes

This is love
This is love
Make it stop
This is love
This is love
Make it stop
Make it stop

This is love
This is love
Make it stop
This is love
This is love
This is love
This is love
This is love
