Obsequiarch

[Verse 1]
"Go on ahead,” she said. “Love will meet you there
Be steadfast, swift, safe and self-assured."
“So long,” She said and set it all adrift
I swear, bad luck and longing are a lonely pair
Whose hollow little white lies light the room

[Chorus]
Skin, muscle, and bone all die on their own
Enter beating heart (Enter beating heart)
To send blood to the source as veins steady the course
It’s an Obsequiarch leading a march
Of cold, cowardly cells. “
Tell nobody else about the story arc.”
Sigh, say goodnight, be nearby

[Verse 2]
Beyond the bed, I leapt, fled, and found myself
Untethered attempts to resuscitate
Were met with a deafening tone, wait, recalibrate
Wait, nothing, wait, stop, it’s the only way
Hollow little white lies lined the room. “It’s too soon.”

[Chorus]
Skin, muscle, and bone all die on their own
Enter beating heart (Enter beating heart)
To send blood to the source as veins steady the course
It’s an Obsequiarch leading a march
Of cold, cowardly cells. “
Tell nobody else about the story arc.”
Sigh, say goodnight, be nearby

[Bridge]
Oh the horror, oh the horror
At night-time stars align and the tide rolls out to sea
I'm barely alive
At night-time I'm colour-blind
So I don't know where I've been or how I survived
The night-time drank me dry
Now I'm drowning but I've never felt so alive
It's night-time all the time
At the bottom where the dead lay but I am alive

[Outro]
It’ll come for you
Oh, the horror
Oh, the horror when it comes for you
