Body Throne Lyrics

A dark shadow cuts into an empty room

The shallow grave for a complacent fool

Invading private space just to disgrace with a smile

But I had buried the knife I'd swallowed my pride in leu

Of tasting skin that I can't break through

Just another artist starved for the attention you try

To so bitterly deny

Spinning pinwheels, pulsing embers

My body throne into the fire

Going up in the smoke of a wasted inclination

Crying in vain through the windowpane

The unrequited name of desire

Feel it pull me under and force me into the decline

A pile of burning corpses you left behind

The bigger it makes you

The more it can break you

Nobody's stepping out of line

Bang, bang! I bang on your door so hard

Jaded and loveless I can't be cured

Still falling further in rank from a place at your side

I'm just a waste of your time

Oh, but you'd never let it show

Your too misanthropic

And you know there's a line around the corner

For the lonely little stoner girl

Who seeks to unfurl

Parade in a wet dress

Without any philanthropy or credence

Your sexual convenience is all

They could afford to ask

Forceps on my bare back

You pull at my spine so diamond-studded

As if I like to be exploited

But no, it's not consensual

And somehow I can't help but feel

That by fueling your self destruction

I'll have felt the repercussions

More than anyone I've ever loved

Spinning pinwheels, pulsing embers

My body throne into the fire

Going up in the smoke of a wasted inclination

Crying in vain through the windowpane

The unrequited name of desire

Feel it pull me under and force me into the decline

A pile of burning corpses you left behind

The bigger it makes you the harder that it's to deny

To destroy and deface you is the only way it knows to stay alive

Ain't nobody stepping out of line

The pile of burning corpses you left behind

Impossible, Improbable

You shake your head

Impossible, Improbable

You waste your breath

Impossible, Improbable

Just save your self
