lyrics

DISCOURSE

Sleep off the rot and rise to fall again
This vessel encased in glass
Does not budge for man or sea
This prison is made by me

I spit blood and swallow steel
My choice of discourse is no different than the names before me
I carve the face of my fear into my body
And as I whittle myself thin I’ll find my way again

Slave to impulse, I watch myself fade
I watch myself from the audience
Shame has lost its grip as I watch myself fade away
Into distance I watch myself fade

I’ve spat enough blood to fill my cup again
But I’ve swallowed enough steel to claw my way back to my feet
I can find my way out of this discourse or stumble into another fault line

Discourse
The home for lost vessels
Discourse
My solace in times of need
Discourse
In a prison made of glass
Discourse
My vices will not make me

Make me whole again and save me from this discourse
Find my way again and pave my road back home
