Us in Motion - Vile Bodies

And I've dreamed a life
Where ashes never fill the sky
But it's all too far from me
And it seems I'll die
The maggots tethered deep inside
Can you see them in my veins?
If passing can't exonerate
The sins around my name
I'll stand before thy Father
Dressed in corpses and remains
You think I'd open up
And then I'd spill myself for courtesy?
It's getting kind of hectic
I'm getting kind of hectic with it
My teeth are gritting
Chipping away with every sentiment
It's getting kind of hectic
I'm getting kind of hectic with it
I'm never gonna let them inside
Now my memory mustn't cling to remembering lips
The time has run out
It's fading now
And I'm slipping faster
But I'm just as pretty
And I'm skinnier
When I destroy myself
Into your gaze
But I feel the apprehension
While I'm craving the release
Just set me free
Now my memory mustn't cling too far away from you
Believe what I'm saying
My words ring complacency
All that I see is
The way that you made me
In which form of prose
Best conveys my moroseness?
I'll go out in style
Let my death be bespoke
And see my knuckles turning white
While my skin fades to blue
My God
The noble rot stains deep inside me
Now my memory mustn't cling too far away
From you tonight
Now my memory mustn't ring through
Lest we forget that I-
I could've ended it then
I should've ended it all
I could've made my coffin small
But tonight I'll try
Well I'm the ghost of a would-be suicide
A living corpse in exchange for another life
So tonight I'll die
And take what's mine
