Brainclaw Wasting Away
You said today you'd go away
The worst surprise but you smiled anyway
You said to me it's better this way
There were things that you just realized
The hardest of knives pulled from my side
And the pain of handing it back to you
Was the Little One so far away
Who would never see our distant shores
I waste away
I said today it'd be ok
The best-laid plan was to think that anyway
I said to you I'm better today
Knowing that it was a massive lie
The sharpest of knives pulled from our sides
We use on the ones we love
Can't cut away the rage and the pain
And the sounds of our cries
I waste away
Try as I might I cannot feel
It's impossible to heal
