lyrics

When you came in last night,
You didnt look your best
Your skin was pale and cold
Your mouth it gasped for breath

Went to bed and said it was nothing
You just needed a rest
Now i find myself wondering
Howd we end up in this mess

I know i made a vow
But i dont think i can keep it now
Till death do us part
In sickness and in health but baby
This is just preservation of the self

Shouldve known when i saw the bites on your neck
Shouldve known when i saw the scratches on your back
Didnt wanna have to be the one
To have to put you down with my gun
Never wanted to have to tell you that youre dead

When your breath finally stopped
I dragged you across the floor
Locked your cold corpse away
Behind the cellar door

So sorry that its come to this love
You chained to the floor
And im sorry that i havnt the courage
That i cant do more

Bridge

Chorus

Your tortured screams of hunger
Kept me up until the sun
Rose up over the horizon
I knew the time had come

With shakin hands i load this last round
The deed is almost done
The nightmare will finally be over
With the sound of this gun

Chorus

My first instinct is to call this album “objectively beautiful.” The fact is, it’s so masterfully poignant that I’d be comfortable recommending it to anyone, no matter their level of familiarity with horror punk. anathemicanthems
