lyrics

I don't eat
I don't drink
all I do
is sit here
in my coccoon
and think of you
my only joy
is a change of position
been rolling around for two weeks
here in my tomb
stuck between these four walls
I'm left to stew
I'm left to seethe
I can't fill my lungs
I can't breathe.

My stomach is turning
my face is burning
cannot bring myself
to raise my head
to look anyone in the eye
it happened so quick
when will I stop feeling sick
come on honey
you gots to
please let me try
friends say there will be others
a multitude of lovers
you're young
so have fun
while you can
but for all the kind words
my good friends are pouring on me
I can't fill my lungs
I can't breathe

They say I'm tormented
I tell them I am teased
by visions of him on his knees
and you're by his side
weeping for his life
you know I never wanted you for a bride?
I never wanted you for all time
I just wanted you
to fulfill your promises
I just wanted you to stick by your word
In a flash
I am coated
in blood, and brain, and bone, and tooth and tongue
and finally I can fill my lungs
and so I sing
yes I sing
to my peers, to my fears
to the flora, the fauna
and up to the very heavens
where Gods will tremble
tremble as I sing
I sing
I sing

But they were visions
and nothing more
I once again turn my head
and spill my guts
onto my floor
