"Hesitation Wounds" lyrics

God cares for you
Are you going through a hard time?
God cares for you and so do we

I am my fear held in trembling hands
Convulsing in the shape of a cross
Burned into my skull
Embraced by packs of rabid wolves
Fixated on my neck
Aimed at anguish I can't see breeding in my brain
Through a storm of ash my preferred poison rains
Collecting on pale skin like frost
Clung to forked tongues until there's nothing left

I am my fear held in trembling hands
Contorting a crucifix-like spine
Burned into my skull
Temptation lingering above the skin
Like images of angels opening veins where there were wings
Breeding in my brain

Sickness instilled as immaculate conception
Though I've never been a virgin to despair
Hesitation wounds like works of art that decorate the earth
In familiar shades of black
Retracing scars until there's nothing left

God cares for you

I am my fear held in trembling hands
I am no virgin to despair
Swallowing nails in place of pills
I am my fear held in trembling hands
Held in trembling hands

I notice that you seem a good bit calmer today
More relaxed than you were last week when you first came in the hospital
Have you been receiving some kind of medication?
