Lyrics

I carried your derision across the continent

Mistook your face in crowds with its familiar contempt

You can sever off abuse enacted on an ugly whim

But it lingers like fog, clings on like a phantom limb

It lingers like fog, clings on like a phantom limb


To all else, it endeavors to be a cave dweller

Finds shelter in the seeds of doubt it sows

Covertly, it pervades, shirking parties and parades

Donning monochromatic clothes


When I pretended to be asleep

It made the whole thing easier


To me, it strove to be all-encompassing

An inescapable gaze and a whispering scream

I should've called it what it was when it was all I knew

But my timid tongue refused like it was trained to do


When I pretended to be asleep

It made the whole thing easier

When I pretended to be asleep

It made the whole thing easier


But every waking hour was

A tiny slice of death

Vile were your words

With bile on the breath

I used to fantasize about

The life I'm living now

Under your weight unwelcomed

I plotted my way out


I carried your derision across the continent

Mistook your face in crowds with its familiar contempt

You can sever off abuse enacted on an ugly whim

But it lingers like fog, clings on like a phantom limb


When I pretended to be asleep

It made the whole thing easier

When I pretended to be asleep

It made the whole thing easier


Now when I'm supine

I rest my eyes

And the whole thing's easier
