Carnifex
Dead Archetype
I am the soul of a nameless machine
I can only breathe, I can only breed, I can only bleed
Bleed out over her wishing it was me

It’s a joke played by God on you and me
A cruel act of divinity
Only dreams of winter's dead leaves
Falling from trees, falling on me
Hanging three feet from the Earth that I can’t seem to leave
This hurts, this hurts
All I can do is dream of her
This hurts, this hurts
All I can do is bleed with her
This hurts

First I’ll slit your throat and let you bleed out
Then I’ll use a knife to carve your eyes out
First I’ll slit your throat and let you bleed out
Then I’ll use a knife to carve your eyes out

Everyone missing our last laugh
Just broken hearts and shattered glass
Just two ghosts from the past
Screaming love songs
Hung by your words, they wore me down
I’m swimming out to sea and I don’t want to be found
Which one of you?
Tried to save me
Which one of you?
Tried to stop me
Which one of you?
Which one of you?

I am the soul of a nameless machine
I can only breathe, I can only breed, I can only bleed
Bleed out over her wishing it was me

It’s a joke played by God on you and me
A cruel act of divinity
Only dreams of winter's dead leaves
Falling from trees, falling on me
Hanging three feet from the Earth that I can’t seem to leave
This hurts, this hurts
All I can do is dream of her
