Lyrics: Jonah Ain
Music: Jonah Ain
[Pt. 1]
Come closer to my side
I don't trust my soul to save itself
Searing knelling in my ear canals
But I've chained you in my pull
We stumble, choking, as we climb
We're inhaling fumes of the crimson sky
I guide you, feverish up the mountainside
I know, I tried, but tonight I just don't feel merciful
Eventually we come to find
A narrow cave to be my catalyst
Claustrophobic as the lives we've lived
Don't you know it's all your fault
I whisper in your breaking mind
Frankly, I am ****ing terrified
Trembling, hand in hand, we step inside
But I know I'm right
And you still believe I would do anything for you
I wonder how you'll look
When you're blood and bone
When you're nothing but the cage you've lived in
Will you understand the way I've always cared for you?
As your skull is crushed beneath our collapsing cave
I know, I know you're small like me
Two little droplets in our sea
You'll forgive me
Trapped under a monolith, just trying to break through
And it's partially the truth
But you've always been the hue
Of my resentment
There's nothing left for me, so I'll take everything from you
I wonder how you'll look
When your eyes lose hope
When you've stared into the cave you'll die in
When you've bled enough you'll look into my eyes and know
There's nothing left in you to be saved
[Pt. 2]

[Pt. 3]
Dust and floods and crimson skulls
Through heaving walls
I wish it never came to this at all
I know, you were so desperate to save my soul
But friend, no one ever could protect you from corruption of your own
Oh, my sulphurous fingers
Blackened ashes have spewed from my tongue
Tears are blurring my vision
Seeing a volcano erupt blood
But I've gotta remember
This is only a means to an end
A moment someone understands
So I climb back down, to do it all again
Again, again, again
