The Acacia Strain, Primitive Man and Ethan McCarthy - basin of vows

Take a deep breath
Hold it in
Never let it out again
Nothing to give
No will to live
Atone for your fucking sins

Both feet are sinking into the grave
Both feet are sinking into the grave
Both feet are sinking into the grave
Grip the grass and believe you are safe

I can make the hurting stop
I can make the hurting stop
I can make the hurting stop
I can make the hurting stop

You are the curse that should not be
I will decimate your elegy
A mortal wound inflicts mortal form
I'll make you wish you were never born

A tooth buried in the dirt
For everyone you've ever hurt
Your breath left an awful taste in my mouth

It's all been done, we said goodbye
I promised that I wouldn't cry
As I shed my final tear
I hate to admit that I wish you were here
I was never myself (I was never myself)
Heart in my throat I can't cry for help
I'll miss you all, you won't see tomorrow
To everyone I've ever hurt, I'm fucking sorry

We had to know
It was just a matter of time
Before you were misled
You weren't just a wound
You were the rats gnawing on it
The worms feeding on a decomposing husk
The vermin attracted to the rusty scent of blood
You sensed the injury, you took advantage of the weakness
But you forgot the wound was infected
The blood was poison and now you're in agony
You will feel it forever
Contaminating everything you touch
Ruining the dream
There are cracks in the realm

You will fester the rest of your existence
Until you implode under the weight of your own pestilent growth
Abandon the dream
You're waking up now, you'll forget everything
I don't wish you the worst
Because the worst is inside of you, always

A special place in hell
You did this to yourself
A special place in hell
You did this to yourself

Scratch the lines into my skin
My first mistake was letting you in
Infected like an open sore
You cannot hurt me anymore

The sadness will last forever
Six feet wasn't deep enough
The dirt can't cover my disgust

Every part of you is dead to me
I still struggle with your memory
Like the blood drained from an artery
Echoing through my mind

This sadness will last forever
This sadness will last forever
This sadness will last forever
