LYRICS
Bane me, your innocent instinct

Inescapable embrace of its imprint

I don't want to hear
I don't want to hear about death
Always dealing with the thought when I wake, to my nights breath
It's like every word from your life’s spoke from a morgue
I can barely keep my life together, nevermind yours

Father figure, crack the whip
Whilst boring me with your manuscript

Little faith, the crack in lifes fault line
When your worlds abandon you, what you make it defines

But i’m done, im done biting, getting ill from the savour
So much blood my jaw breaks from the weight
But it balanced your scale
Lived life under some everbinding waiver
You couldn't meet my needs at such a young age
All i've learned is there's no meeting halfway
(Theres No)

Knead me so, and leave me as bait
Breaking hands that feed if they objugate

I'm just another person repeating the same
The truth of truest hurts bound to my sinews

You couldn't meet my needs at such a young age
All i've learned is there's no meeting halfway
