lyrics

These anchors hold me down, down, down
I must saw these rusted bleak prison bars
With my sharp jagged tooth on my right side
I have to remind myself to breath
I have to remind myself it's not a dream
The cuts on these wrists spell out my name
Or at least I think it's my name

And everyone knows it's tragic
Scratching at the back of my eyelids
Skittering roaches inside my skull
Inside of my head!
And everyone knows it's tragic
Tick, tick, tick down the timeline
Counting the rats in the wall
1-2-3-4 & 5

These haunting secrets are being whispered, blistering aloud
Oh God please forgive me for my failures, my sins one and all
These common foxes come to pick at my bones when I'm not at home
I've even named one Crimson because of how her eyes glow

Broken down old souls have visitations in the early A.M. hours,
Shaking their bones as tambourines praising the Holy Ghost

I choke on my own breath, her cigarette smoke is thick
She swore like a sailors mother and drank like a poisoned lover
She had coal black hair and blistering soft lips
Held down by her vices and god was her first love
I mean I can't compete with the most holy

Inside of my head! Inside of her skull! Inside of my head!
