Deadspace - I'll Buy the Rope

reaching upward
until the skin tears off these arms
a distant light of mine
is all that's left
and i'd bury my nails in your eyes

feel my sorrow run between my fingers
to take away the longing

on sheets of embers in the writhing blackness
sweat soaking through the fucking silk again

i wander, longing and lying still
a mind raped to bleeding by words

there is no respite
the gaping maw above this hole
once all the sky to me
is little more than a distant star

my fingers grazed and nails split
from the endless climbing
my back is broken from the fall

stone's throw from the blame
an ocean away
too far to swim, but not to drown

on sheets of embers in the writhing blackness
sweat soaking through the fucking silk again

i wander longing and lying still
a mind raped to bleeding by words
