Ash and Dust

So sick, where’s my medicine?

Bleeding thick, leeching out all my sins

Fallen to my knees, I don’t care anymore

Crying out my pleas, I don’t belong here anymore

(I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done)

{Chorus}:

[And I’ve been dead! Echoes of memories imploding in my head

So weak! Break me down and grind my fraying nervous streak

Kill me! Eat me alive and drink me dry as I bleed

Ash and dust! Apocalyptic cataclysm of your trust]

Feed me lies to numb the sting…. Narcotic liberty rings….

Medicate me, suffocate me, bind and rape me, (I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done)

Coffee on my tongue, and sugar in my gums!

Filter the tobacco through your brain into your lungs!

Chocolate senna coats my every exhalation

Syrup and saccharine clots my bloody lacerations

(I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done)

                {Chorus}:

                [And I’ve been dead! Echoes of memories imploding in my head

So weak! Break me down and grind my fraying nervous streak

Kill me! Eat me alive and drink me dry as I bleed

Ash and dust! Apocalyptic cataclysm of your trust]

Violet violence, glorious pain

Screaming silence, dying in vain

For the moment, I tell myself not to breathe

For the moment, I forget that you don’t remember me

(I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done)

{Chorus}:

                [And I’ve been dead! Echoes of memories imploding in my head

So weak! Break me down and grind my fraying nervous streak

Kill me! Eat me alive and drink me dry as I bleed

Ash and dust! Apocalyptic cataclysm of your trust]

I don’t ever want to dream… I only pray for eternal sleep…

Asphyxiate me, intoxicate me, adulterate me, (I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done)

                {Chorus}:

                [Let me wither and weep! You cherish agony and I lust for misery

                All the scars! I revealed to you seem to fade away so far

                Sever your ties! Break my lullabies and whisper your goodbyes!

                Ash and dust! Apocalyptic cataclysm of your trust]
