[Verse 1]

And we hide behind

Lies, anger, hate they shoo love away

Shells of ourselves outside

Shelters body from culprits of reality


[Refrain]

Come on

Step out!

Of your rind

Assemble strength

Focus, release


[Pre-Chorus]

And run to me, you can never look back

To the visions from the past

They fade and wilt in time

You've got to just trust me to hold your hand through

Then I'll turn and walk away


[Chorus]

Eclipse you all (Play you! Cut you away!)

(Bleed you! Strip you!) of your states of ain soph aur

Eclipse you all (Play you! Cut you away!)

(Spit up on my plate! Push everything away from me!)


[Verse 2]

And we sever all ties

It creates disruption midst circle of friends

I become sacrifice

Spare your life and leave me to my misery


[Refrain]

Get off the cross!

And save yourself

Run away!

You'll be okay!


[Breakdown]

Run now, get away from me (Run away!)

If I can get my grip, I'll pull you (Don't look back! Don't ask for help!)

Down into the hell I call my head (Intimidate!)

You'll never get away

Sit down in my ugly place (Off the cross!)

And build walls out of fragments (And save yourself!)

From my past of all the people (Don't get sore!)

That I needed and loved that walked away (Get over me!)


[Pre-Chorus]

You've got to just trust me to hold your hand through

Then I turn and walk away


[Verse 3]

I walk under clouds of gray

Sphere of storms in my head

I'm trapped again in endless rain


[Bridge 1]

I divorce the thoughts of you in love with me

I divorce your innocence and my guilt

I divorce the lying sellout confidence

I'm divorcing every motherfuckin' thing


[Breakdown]

I divorce the love bled meaningless

I divorce the makeshift harmony

I divorce the taunting acts of violence

I divorce the pastime of jealousy

I divorce control

I divorce the faith

I divorce the virtue

I divorce the rain

I divorce the excuse

I divorce the greed

I divorce the need

I divorce iniquity in this motherfuckin' bullshit life

Just want it all to go away

Just want to run away to die

Take it

Myself

My life

Textbook fucking mental

Off me and pitch me in a hole

In this motherfuckin' bullshit life

In this fuckin' bullshit life


[Bridge 2]

I'll always be your shadow

And veil your eyes from states of ain soph aur

I can't be the hero anymore

I spit up on my plate and then I turn and walk away

I spit up on my plate and I disrupt the family

I spit up on my plate as I sever the entity

And I feel your warm sun on my face

Separate

Separate

Separate

Separate!


[Chorus]

(Play you! Cut you away!)

(Bleed you! Strip you!) of your states of ain soph aur

Eclipse you all (Play you! Cut you away!)

(Spit up on my plate! Push everything away from me!)

Eclipse you all (Play you! Cut you away!)

(Bleed you! Strip you!) of your states of ain soph aur

I need you (Play you! Cut you away!)

(It's always been this way! Push everything away from me!)

Eclipse you all (Play you! Cut you away!)

(Bleed you! Strip you!) of your states of ain soph aur

Eclipse you all (Play you! Cut you away!)

(Spit up on my plate! Push everything away from me!)
