Death Mask

Where is this deathmask you promised me?

Building up callouses

Cutting my teeth

Got a head full of thoughts you'd call heresy

The end's a beginning and

Just out of reach

The shell has been tarnished all rotted and bruised

Counting these scars that stand place of my youth

Can't pardon myself for this peril I'm bound

My penance is served when I'm flesh underground

Don't make me porcelain

Don't try to soothe

Don't fight this torture

Never break loose

Where is this deathmask you promised me?

Building up callouses

Cutting my teeth

Got a head full of thoughts you'd call heresy

The end's a beginning and

Just out of reach

Woke up screaming cold sweats in my sleep

Seething static I'm trapped underneath

This being I haunt never wanted much more

Than out of this skin that I can't be unborn

Thanks for all you didn't do,

Thank you for the steam

Thank you for the metaphor

Stand there while I bleed

Where is this deathmask you promised me?

Building up callouses

Cutting my teeth

Got a head full of thoughts you'd call heresy

The end's a beginning and

Just out of reach

Just out of reach
