My anguish told you

A persistent lie

The parasitic circuits that you push by wheel

Were spoken to me every time

And like a charlatan

You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time

These pacts we keep in secret

Are drinking from a well that was cured by drought

My torment adores you

When my strings are tied

Out of compulsion I must decimate

The sapless embryonic miles

And like a charlatan

You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time

These pacts we keep in secret

Are drinking from a well that was cured by drought

My knives are burrowed voices

Twisted by the handle so they won't let go

These limbs are idle creatures

Extensions of a spirit that has no control

My heart is trapped inside

And I refuse to accept this throne

My night's unfolding

Reads like a page of test results

This sterile codex

Is missing all my life's resolve

And like a charlatan

You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time

These pacts we keep in secret

Are drinking from a well that was cured by drought

And like a charlatan

You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time

These pacts we keep in secret

Are drinking from a well that was cured by drought
