eight legged with the looming threat of a bite
you are constructed of a false evil
they dance around your skill, your brains ,your heart
and you are crushed beneath their feet
without a sound
a faint whisper made of rumors
they want to weave a web like yours
but the sun will never hit theirs
they are doomed to live in spite
it's not like they ever understood you in the first place
grew up with the psych ward lurking around the corner
i kept to myself because i knew where id end up should i speak a word
fabric rubs against my scars as a constant reminder
they tell me im a failure like you didn't do that enough
am i your shadow?
or am i hiding from the light?
i kept to myself because i knew where id end up should i speak a word
fabric rubs against my scars as a constant reminder
they tell me im a failure like you didn't do that enough
am i your shadow?
or am i hiding from the light?

its funny how you find flaws in everyone but yourself
like living with one side of your mirror
do you see my marred skin as a fault on your part
and your failing marriage as a missing spike in your picket fence?
do i symbolize your loss of freedom you never gave yourself
and is that why you take away mine?
your love only comes from one half of your heart
the other spent on yourself
because you don't even want yourself
like living with one side of your mirror

and your failing marriage as a missing spike in your picket fence?

you took away my wings
i saw you and you were beautiful
i gave you my feathers
because you had none
and i sewed them to your bones
but now im drained
and im empty
all for nothing
all you are is nothing
an angel fell from heaven
missed her stop in hell
and landed in my arms like an orphaned child
i saw you and you were beautiful
i gave you my feathers
because you had none
and i sewed them to your bones
but now im drained
and im empty
all for nothing
all you are is nothing
an angel fell from heaven
missed her stop in hell
and landed in my arms like an orphaned child

calloused fingers run down soft skin like the strings of a guitar
vocal chords linger in the air, wrap around each other
legs wrapped around each other, tangled. skin against skin
combat the flesh
love with a soul
vocal chords linger in the air, wrap around each other

combat the flesh
