Candidus (explicit)

Vestigial Remorse

// Just give me anything
// One thing for me alone
// You’ve taken everything
// Everything I love is gone
// “White; bright; radiant;
// Beautiful; clothed in white;
// Clear; candid; frank; happy”
// You stole your light
// Everything is gone

The clock draws closer than you could ever know. I may be immortal, but you’re killing me slowly. I know. Everything I’ve built you all want to take from me. All I’ve done is give and you still expect more from me.

(chorus)

There is no light at the end of my tunnel. No expectation to be free. no. All I’ve really done is allow you to enslave me. All I’ve done is allow you all to enslave me.

I’m not saying I’m perfect or that you should really care. I’m not saying I’m the golden child or that I think you’d ever care. Everything I used to think about love is true. There is no reason for it and I never needed any of you.

Just give me something beautiful to bathe in all my sin. Give me one single moment to pretend I don’t hate you all again. Give me something, anything, that I could use tonight. Just give f**king anything to stab until I’m numb inside.

(chorus)
