Arms Like Teeth

(альбом: You're Not You Anymore - 2017)

Compare our dependence to predator and prey
A parallel engraved into our souls by the work of broken hands

Contradiction carved in canvas
And our nail-beds ache from scratching at the surface

Coerced by your creation
Finding foundation in decay

With the culmination of our failure on display
Convince yourself I am your greatest masterpiece
Disassemble me however you see fit
And put me back together absolving me of my impurities

And you know I'd welcome your embrace
Even if your arms resembled teeth
Cover me in scars
Close your eyes in case I bleed

I'd welcome you and your embrace
Even if your arms resembled teeth
Close your eyes in case I bleed
I'd let you cover me in scars
If you could carry me forever
Carry me forever in your heart
Carry me forever in your heart
Carry me forever in your heart

A predator, I pray
Release me from the mouth of dependency
Forgive me for my absence
Our love will know not wasted time
