There is blood pouring out of the guitar
I can hardly hear you for all the groaning
I crawl in through the door and after all that you aren't there
I call out for you and get smacked in the head
The Burning Tree, fetally crawling
I constantly seem to be walking
Against the flow of people
The smoke's spiralling up to the sky
The smoke's spiralling up to the sky
~
All the people trying to die
All the people trying to fly
All the people who are crying red
All the people who are wishing they were dead
Blood Lad and Coppelian
They hit the ground running, screaming:
"You'll never win the last battle!"
Identity destruction is part of what culls our emotions
It's just a grotesque animal, we're running away, barely escaping its vicious bare jaws
I'll never live to see you die
'Cause I'll never live past 35
I'll never live to see you die
'Cause I'll never live past 35
I'll never live to see you die
'Cause I'll never live past 35
I'll never live to see you die
'Cause I'll never live past 35

Is it just a struggle?
Since the first one we've only been at odds
Nothing ever goes to anyone's favour
From the beginning it was just pipes and blood
And yet they say I was desperate to get out of that womb, no wonder,
I hate small spaces like that
Am I mad or is it just mean like that
I suppose I wasn't supposed to live
But you refused to let it die
Please help, it's really cold
Please help, it's really cold
~
Smells of warm wax and pine sap
With the best minds of our generation
We sing ourselves into ruin
It Is Dead
