Heartless 101

Now you’re reaching for life Never mind if you’re breathing Say again Say again Die slowly Born inside the frame As you nurture the wound The dust settles to reveal Each puncture they’ve given you Don’t expect them to be sorry though They’ve got a taste for themselves only And you taste disgusting To them you mean shit and ooze it So borrow them like a trade wind And exist in the present for tomorrow is yesterday Die slowly You've mistaken me for a lifetime I reveal nothing The true me As the cavity lays lifeless and silent You will never find out the identity of the inhabitant And how he saved us all from the bloat that consumes and overtakes our bodies’ apex Message him now through nerves and wires Sent in simple, synchronized, but timeless ticks But he no longer draws blood from this world He draws it from a place of fog and mist He draws it from where time and space can’t even exist any more Now I know right and wrong for no one but me But he no longer draws blood from this world He draws it from a place of fog and mist He draws it from where time and space can’t even exist Now you’re reaching for life Never mind if you’re breathing Say again Say again Message him now through nerves and wires This is our inspiration to let us let go With eyes rolling back Eyes roll back
