Akratic Seminar - Immortal Bird

My will is gone

Eroded with each fragile night

Don’t sympathize

With a liar who has paid the price

I can lure you back this time

Promises that fester in the light

Don’t walk away

My muscles ache with fresh exertion

Stay with me

I’ll conjure up some remedy

I can lure you back this time

Promises that fester in the light

Where was our discipline?

Misplaced but not forgotten

It never stops

A chill that never thaws out

Eyes beckon your return

Frost forms on my breath

I am a sore

Inside your mouth

My voice a sound you can’t block out

And I will be your great regret

The one that makes you pray for death

I can’t say no

Tongue is swollen

Refusal seems so hollow

Eyes wide

Splitting at the seams

Take this away

A mess of skin and agony

Chemical waste of space

Perfume and nicotine
