The Weathered Tome Lyrics

hung in your room, swaying, hoping only that you'll see. 

all by myself, i'm alone in such poor company. 

the deeper i think, the deeper i seem to sink. 

i can't stop the insects that are feeding, 

pull the needles from beneath my skin. 

i broke myself, shattered, tied a bow around every piece. 

you'll love the eyes. have they always shone so vacantly? 

the more i show the less you'll want to know. 

i can't stop the insects that are feeding , 

pull the needles from beneath my skin. 

now i'm on display, i am becoming. 

hurt myself today. it's all for you 

do you like what i'm becoming? 

cut myself today, it's all for you. 

i part the night, flashing, approaching as i watch you flee.

pushed through your panes. seems i've landed quite uncomfortably,

but as i pass through souls of broken glass,

i can't stop the insects that are feeding, 

pull the needles from beneath my skin. 

please don't ask me what i think, trust me, you don't want to know. 

please don't ask me to open up. trust me. trust me. 'cause i can't.
