lyrics

I try to check the time, but I can't find
my suicide watch so I hang myself from a tree,
but I'm too tall. Gotta wait for the fall to leave, but now I can't complete my human sun dial fbecause the sun is in denial that one day it will die like me.
I am a wretch, and I am in love. I am irredeemable.

Casualty of my revelations. Subject of my lamentations. The albatross around my neck choking my breath. A reminder with every step of what I am. My one wish: that you'd forget my face. My one wish: my sins would be erased.

I am comatose. I put myself on the cross
I nail my palms with my thoughts
I flagellate my mind.
I wear my memories upon my head like a crown of thorns.
Old souls die young
