lyrics

I’m inside out like an animal
Concise cut on the killing floor
Drag me up to the hooks
Let me hang ‘till my blood runs cold

Chewing my fingers black and blue
Trying to be closer to you
Lost in a madness
Scattered gone
Trying to find my way back home

An empty mask hangs upon the wall
I push it over my face and go
Into the black where my sirens call
And play the part they’ve been longing for
’Til my mask is worn
Until my blood runs
My blood runs cold

Chewing my fingers black and blue
Trying to be closer to you
Lost in a madness
Scattered gone
Trying to find my way back home

Way back home
Way back home
Way back home

Just a few more words, one or two things left to say,
I wish things were different and I wish that I could stay.
And as the curtains close, the ending of today,
Its crawling craving so before I turn away
Can I stay?
Can I stay?
Can I stay?

Way back home
