All Else Fails - A Most Unwanted Reprieve

This is the end
Face down, in the wreckage of my former life
This is the end
Broken body slowly bleeding out the cracks in the floor
Existence absent, this is goodbye

Severed valve-stem, hope deflates, I'm lost in time
I hold my fucking breath and pray it kills my mind
Remembrance is a cold mistress
Hypothermic concubine
And I can see that this is the end

Face down, in the wreckage of my former life
This is the end
Broken body slowly bleeding out the cracks in the floor

With powdered glass in my throat, I come back to you
Tormented visions of us never again
Your powdered cheeks and solemn gaze burnt in my head
My ethereal, loving wreck

The earth weighs down on me as it feeds this growing dread
As I fight to breath I can feel this life leech out of me
My afflictions worn on my sleeve
I shudder at the thought of you bereaved
But still I'm fighting to let go

Interment of a hope

With powdered glass in my throat, I come back to you
Tormented visions of us never again
Your powdered cheeks and solemn gaze burnt in my head
My ethereal, loving wreck

Interment of all hope
My nails peeling back for you
Arterial weeping in the dark

My thoughts are racing, my thrashing limbs just reinforce despair
Inhale while the blood is still pumping
Exhalation, desperation sets in
My heart is racing, my aching lungs are struggling for a breath

Say your prayers
I dig at my flesh to end the panic
Beg for air
This claustrophobic entombment tears me from my soul

Bury my will to survive
Bury my former life

Interment of all hope
My nails peeling back for you
Arterial weeping in the dark
