And I flew higher
Than I had ever
But I still felt small
I clipped my wings and fell from flight
To open water
And floated farther
Away from myself
And I swam in the wakes of imposters
Just to feel what it's like to pretend
There's no dreams in the lakes only monsters
And the monsters are my only friends
They're all that I was
And never could be
Eyes in the dead still water
Tried but it pushed back harder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
Knives in the backs of martyrs
Lives in the burning fodder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
You found me drifted out to sea
It's automatic
It's telepathic
You always knew me
And you laugh as I search for a harbor
As you point where the halo had been
But the light in your eyes has been squandered
There's no angel in you in the end
And all that I was
I've left behind me
Eyes in the dead still water
Tried but it pushed back harder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
Knives in the backs of martyrs
Lives in the burning fodder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
Now I wait
This metamorphosis
All that is left is the change
Selfish fate
I think you made me this
Under the water I wait
Eyes in the dead still water
Tried but it pushed back harder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
Knives in the backs of martyrs
Lives in the burning fodder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
I lost myself into the night And I flew higher Than I had ever But I still felt small I clipped my wings and fell from flight To open water And floated farther Away from myself And I swam in the wakes of imposters Just to feel what it's like to pretend There's no dreams in the lakes only monsters And the monsters are my only friends They're all that I was And never could be Eyes in the dead still water Tried but it pushed back harder Cauterized and atrophied This is my unbecoming Knives in the backs of martyrs Lives in the burning fodder Cauterized and atrophied This is my unbecoming You found me drifted out to sea It's automatic It's telepathic You always knew me And you laugh as I search for a harbor As you point where the halo had been But the light in your eyes has been squandered There's no angel in you in the end And all that I was I've left behind me Eyes in the dead still water Tried but it pushed back harder Cauterized and atrophied This is my unbecoming Knives in the backs of martyrs Lives in the burning fodder Cauterized and atrophied This is my unbecoming Now I wait This metamorphosis All that is left is the change Selfish fate I think you made me this Under the water I wait Eyes in the dead still water Tried but it pushed back harder Cauterized and atrophied This is my unbecoming Knives in the backs of martyrs Lives in the burning fodder Cauterized and atrophied This is my unbecoming Explain Request ×
