Second Single of Petrify's Second Studio release Death Throes
lyrics
I was nursing my heartbreak,
By licking at my wounds in an empty church’s pews.
Pondering on resentment entwined with malcontent.
I sting, like the puncture wounds you left,
And my skin’s been filled with holes.
We failed, so you’d falsify the documents
To make your sorry story fit, you were ever the perfectionist.
I used to exist in the space between your heartbeats
Now I’m lost to your affection.
I felt you collapse.
I felt you collapse under the weight of all my sighs.
The life has left your eyes,
Taken by these hands of mine.
I held my tongue while your love was burning up
I held my tongue while your chest was filling up.
