Erased

Hands on the wall Or stand on your feet Keep you safe Keep you free from experiencing Skin Touch Tell me when you’ve had enough If this is overwhelming wait and see what’s to come Claw at the surface but nothing comes out So you scratch a little deeper If there was a doubt Turn blood into water To cleanse your insides But you don’t know who you are You have been replaced Now it’s all erased I realise we’re nothing So close to being perfect Here’s your parting gift Repressed then and repressed now Life is getting harder but we can’t see how Medicated by ones and zeros Starve the mind and the body follows Depleted, deprived Everything eliminated inside Claw at the surface but nothing comes out So you scratch a little deeper If there was a doubt Turn blood into water To cleanse your insides But you don’t know who you are You have been replaced Now it’s all erased I realise we’re nothing So close to being perfect Here’s your parting gift Reanimate the dead New flesh glorified Staring back at you Seven heads Seven eyes Scream into the void Until our faces turn red It’s never too late for you to hang your fucking head What am I looking at? Fucking nothing Close my eyes, take a breath At least it’s something real Tell me what it takes To sleep soundly these days One eye over your shoulder The other on your grave Take a bow You’re a god now Rags to riches Riches to new skin You must be proud “You should kill for this” It will kill for you It will kill It will kill you too Now it’s all erased I realise we’re nothing So close to being perfect Here’s your parting gift Erased Erased Erased
