lyrics

I stand there naked in your shadow in the darkened room
Your face as clear as day in the mirror
As dust circulates around the air, clumps filling up in my throat
And the mycelium bears fruit beneath the broken floorboards
You stand unmoving, unwavering, unrelenting
A force so stagnant, an ember that does not flicker
It is not for me to want you gone, for your face is the burden I must bear
Bare naked and resisting the urge to wretch
And with a deep, painful breath I turn around
To blow out the candle whose light couldn't bear its teeth.
