"Wax Mask" lyrics

"Wax Mask"

I'll change my colors and show myself out
I'll change my colors and show myself out

Eyes full of blood and light
Why have we built this grave?
Fate buried in the dark
Just so I'd have something to save
Mouth full of blood and light
Teeth tear into the sun
Fate buried in the dark
There is a distance in everyone

Inhale my pupils beneath my brow
Suffocate
On the embalmed petals you leave around
Suffocate
Look inside, look inside
Now confess
The final gift
Embrace your exit

Change my colors, show myself out
Change my colors, show myself out

Eyes full of blood and light
Ex-lives like bolts and chains
Fate buried in the dark
Just so I'd have something to save
A field to pace before the noose
Matte canvases fake the skies
Painted clouds never rain
Borrowed places and borrowed time

I've let the leeches grow
Trying to peel myself
From mouths that sculpt
Provocation
Look inside, look inside
Now confess
The final gift
Embrace your exit

Change my colors, show myself out
Change my colors, show myself out

I remember every hand that let go

We all bleed, bleed the same
Is this our piece in place?
Drag us down, drag us down together
Is this our piece in place?
Now we all bleed the same
Is this our piece in place?
These hands that drag us down
Reclaim our peace in place
