The Commensal Fall Lyrics

Hiding the smell of my own decay

Flesh and bones are all I own

Hugging my inner child until they choke

Righting wrongs once and for all

Drilling holes meticulously in the ship I'm sailing on

Pulling the strings attached to my own body

Limp and grotesque pantomime

(Dance)

My umbilical cord vanishes

(Dance)

The first of many burning bridges

(Dance)

Purpose subsides as I disengage

(Dance)

I am the womb now, I am the cage

Come what may, I'll be gone anyway

But you're here to stay, you're set to make me pay

(Set to make me pay)

My umbilical cord vanishes

(Pay)

Replaced by cables and circuitry

(Pay)

Purpose subsides as I disengage

(Pay)

Licking the core of the Earth, the war I must wage

As fate and intention grow intangible and abstract

I'm looking for redemption at the bottom of my glass

The ever-inviting screeches of mermaids drawing near

The acrid taste of sultry lips now my deepest fear

You are the night and the sun

And after all life's just begun

But can't you see there's nothing more I could give

I love you and I'll always love you

But your trust is held up by vague memories

Look around, in the wake of a future you're bound to refuse

And stand your ground, for as long as mankind wins humans shall lose

Listen now, find comfort in those simple words

Carve them into your skin

Nothing will ever matter

Nothing fucking matters

Nothing ever mattered
