Lyrics

Schema

I never want to see clear at all

There's nothing that could be fair now

X marks the page you see

Trapped in a cold white room

I wanna know who'll be there when you snuff the wick

I won't reflect the same as you

I want the proof you'll promise to let 'em down quick

I never want to see clear at all

There's nothing that could be fair now

Pull out your teeth until

There's nothing left at all

Immediately I feel release from dragging this vessel around

Exit the stage you keep

Sleep in a cold white room

I wanna know who'll be there when you snuff the wick

Just shut your mouth

And if it takes forever to be sure

I want to know I'll wait it out

And seal your letter with a fingerprint

I want to know, I want to know

Pull out your teeth until

There's nothing left at all

Immediately I feel release from dragging this vessel around

I'm playing dead until

There's nothing left at all

Immediately I feel release from dragging this vessel around
