lyrics

Verse 1
________________________________________
Four bugs sleep in the soil
That instills all I need to live
A poison resonates from them
All I know is they're not biting me

Long ago I learned how to
Block out those memories
It became blissfully easy
Not remembering they were there

Verse 2
________________________________________
Because the sun came out to shine
Someone we loved, to make everything right
New protection
For the planter and I
She became filled
I slipped out our eyes
New pedals showed
Where old ones broke
Filled from the holes
Bitten by ghosts

Verse 3
________________________________________
The sun provided
A brand new warmth
For the first time
I lived within summer

Verse 4
________________________________________
The darkest shadow began to show
Blocking out all the sun's rays
It day-by-day gets colder
I know it's still there, I feel a warmness in my head
I no longer can see it, I pray my goodbyes
A coldness numbs me as the sun dies

Verse 5
________________________________________

All the bugs inside this ground began awaking
Everything's so cold and I'm shivering
A shell is born as the color drains
I am nothing more than a memory

Verse 6
________________________________________
I am breathing death
As the machines are turned off
Watching as my father
Drifts along
I can feel a cold
So numbing I don't cry
Blank and nothing
As he dies

Verse 7
________________________________________
And I look up to see my mother crying
I look back down at his face to feel nothing
Everything quickly perishes inside my mind
Every moral I had learned unwinds

Chorus
________________________________________
My heart was shred that day
My heart withered into a scab
I picked and chipped 'till it went away
I flaked and peeled day to day
My energy became hatred
My energy became insecurity
Self-disghust and judgement
Became the only thing real to me

Verse 8
________________________________________
I drowned out the screams of my former self
If I had to endure, he too would stay trapped in this cell
