Leave Them All Behind - Exalt

Bought and sold

Heaven for free

Destroy, create

Emasculate me

Whips, chains

Feathers in rain

Weigh me down

I’m a body without a frame

I’ll bore holes in my own skull to suffer unknown

Peer inside a shell so hollow

Through my weathered bones

Chew on virgin tongues

Learn their speech in your mouth

Leave no words for me

Take them all for yourself

Damn the old skin

Curse the old blood

Choked by young hands

Breathed through new lungs

As the ocean flows

Waves crash against skin

Artery to let out

Allow the body to seep in

And I’ll let the shadow

Swallow my being whole

Succumb to the dark of surrounding

Suffer the light alone

Extend past my putrid frame

Let the light shine the darkness down

Another appendage of our being

Drown out disembodied sounds

Swallow my body whole

Swallow my body whole

Swallow my body whole
