lyrics

oh you shameless hypocrite
open up your mouth
and watch the maggots pour out
it's not the body that decays
it's the beauty in your soul
it's not the body that decays
you can watch your pretty words
wash away with you now

i will pull the thread that holds this heart closed
you'll sew the knit to hold your own
i'll take a step (save ourselves or save each other)
in your direction
you'll take a leap (save ourselves or save each other)
away from your home

all i know is what you've told me
just a handful of lies
oh what can be made true
cause in time i'll embrace you
oh what can be made true
but for now i am quarantined

oh these pocketfuls of rocks are anchors
be free
