10 Fingers (my Last Ten Minutes) Lyrics - Singles - Circle Of Dead Children

Spit slides like sludge from the lips 

Mumbling the lost words of a Fall grievance 

I can barely speak to you with purple lips and a cracked smile 

Ripped apart in unequaled confusion 

Always sewing my stability back together with the thinnest of twine 

Rip and sew 

Rip and sew 

Rip and sew 

Put me back together 

Rip and sew 

Rip and sew 

Rip and sew 

Put me back together 

Split apart at all the vital seams 

And the tears that seep from my eyes drip and mix with blood and ink 

Blood, tears, and ink in a pirouette of mayhem and tranquillity 

It's a whitewash of emotion 

Sweat kisses my tongue and I know that I'm still real 

I know that I'm still alive with myself 

I yell out your name and choke frothing deprivation 

The nourishment of loss 

Asleep with asleep 

Creeping, inching, crawling across the floor toward the gate 

'cause that's where the flowers bloom and wilt 

Roses laced with blood and drool 

Watching the pigment drain away from petals clung to my body 

Angelic and sweet 

I'm losing feeling 

Raking open my chest with thorns 

Shed back the skin 

Exposed to he elements 

Frigid cold violent dedication 

A human desecration
