Wax Idols At Any Moment
My body has its limits
These scattered bones
Pulled in all directions
It takes a toll
I tumble down your stairs
Like an avalanche without warning
Waiting for illumination
It never comes
Choking on the elevation
In my lungs
Elation, oh elation
How fickle you are in the morning
Didn't I tell you this could die?
Didn't I tell you? Didn't I?
Didn't I say I could walk away at any moment?
This unrelenting shadow
Is casting doubt
It wants to carve me til I'm hollow
And snuff me out
It's a damned if do, damned if I don't
Ever-after
Your calamity seduced me
And kept me near
Wrapped in subtle forms of sorrow
And laced with fear
But I haven't any room for more than
My own disaster
Didn't I tell you this could die?
Didn't I tell you? Didn't I?
Didn't I say I could walk away at any moment?
You fool me once, you won't fool me twice
I'm not a virgin on the altar of sacrifice
Didn't I say I could away at any moment?
