Lyrics

[Verse 1] My anguish told you A persistent lie The parasitic psychics that you push by wheel Were spoken to me every time [Chorus] And like a charlatan You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time These pacts we keep in secret Drinkin' from a well that was cured by drought [Verse 2] My torment adores you Oh, when my strings are tied Out of compulsion I must decimate The sapless embryonic miles [Chorus] And like a charlatan You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time These pacts we keep in secret Drinkin' from a well that was cured by drought [Bridge] My knives are burrowed voices Glistened by the handles so they won't let go These limbs are idle creatures Extensions of a spirit that is not controlled My heart is trapped inside And I refuse to accept this throne Oh-oh-oh-oh [Verse 3] My night's unfoldin' Reads like a page of test results This sterile codex Is missin' all my last resolve [Chorus] And like a charlatan You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time These pacts we keep in secret Drinkin' from a well that was cured by drought And like a charlatan You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time These pacts we keep in secret Drinkin' from a well that was cured by drought
