Immortal Bird - Saprophyte lyrics

My tongue aches Heavy with echoes Slick with apathetic drippings I could force a sound Push words through my teeth Watch them flutter like wounded insects Only to sprawl twitching on the ground They will not survive We cannot survive And in my d**h throes With my dying gasp You will misunderstand Weakening my impact Bludgeoning resilience I offered tender flesh You brought your heavy hands Occupy my time Hollow out my bones till they crumble Scraped too thin Marrow dribbling from your mouth We are all museums of flesh and fear Exhibits of failure and false light She is an abscess Masquerading as an empress A sparrow pa**ing for an ibis A sacrifice of bruised skin Draped in silk Damp with stomach acid And foreign sweat Nails cutting into palms Ripping trails down your neck Jagged map of no man's land Where I'd fear to tread The journey is a lie There is nowhere left but further down
