Immortal Bird - Ashen Scabland lyrics

You wear your shield of crust Face creased with years of rust Ribcage filled with cement Two decades of resentment Bit my tongue Choked on blood A mess no one mopped up Hard not to scream When steel wool Is your blindfold And you can't find what's hidden No one said you had to stay Crippling fear of solitude Squalling ba*tard in your way Three isn't company I won't reconcile Or show my throat Part of the curse You proffered me Am I a blister on your heel? Or a limp you can't hide? Or a vessel for your vitriol? A cup that runneth over This isn't what you want But time's not on our side Where do you think you'll go when you die? I'll chew on gla** I can't swallow my pride Walk through the door I'll leave through a window I should see someone But that means learning where I went wrong It k**s me too It k**s me more than it k**s you When half of me is you what part of me is left to trust? I'm imprisoned by your name And your generosity Olive branches burn on the pyre For every inch you'd always raze a mile One step forward Two steps back Falling swiftly to snap my neck
