your skin bleeds
you can't help but cry
at your lost beliefs, you
say goodbye

tread the ocean, part the sea
i can't believe what you ask of me
tear the skin until it screams
and cries

your fingernails are broken
your wheelbarrows full
nothings left but the wind through the door
when we reconvene, i'm still unable
your lips are pouring poetry

tread the ocean, part the sea
i can't believe what you ask of me
tear the skin until it screams
and cries

why are you so cold
why are you so cold
why are you so golden
so golden

so you transcend
you can't self prepare
your parents understand
don't hold your breath
don't hold your breath
or you might choke
choke

so this is the end
thought it might have come late
you are cursed, you're protected, you're significant

so you transcend
you can't prepare yourself
don't hold your breath
you might choke
choke
