This Is The Last - Coalesce

My throat falls numb from the endless execution of contempt’s song

It fails to follow suit in silence even now

I can hear every word.

Leave this place

If only you could just be half as hateful if only i could still take you with a

grain of salt

I could fake some respect and hide the pity

For what i once feared is now somehow down on my level

I never claimed to see through another’s eyes

I could never inflict such abuse upon myself honestly

Honest in a sense that i’m willing, but such intensity is dulled with age

Leaving me some spoiled child

I’ll take it in stride, with every cheep shot landed

I took it without crying

Now shut the fuck up

I’ve always sang the cowards song

I’ve never claimed to be, anything but

Like father like son

We’ll find an easy way i’ll fly so high

To no longer hear the hisses of hatred ringing in my head

Selfishly sober in spite of you

I’ll never be the man to which you compare me

Selfishly sober in spite of them

You boast i’m dead to you and i in turn agree

I turned a deaf ear on you, i knew the rest

Sob stories were never my strong suit

Now just as threatening as i’ll let you be

I keep a short rope, and a shorter fuse

For the one who love’s who?

I won’t leave this place

So boast i’m dead to you, with dying breath

I can’t hear a thing

I never could

Fuck your apologies

I’ve tolerated your last death threat

I don’t condone the likes of anyone so keep your word

And consider me dead… to you
