Lyrics
Allow the burden of sight to consume me
Expressing a willingness to be overwhelmed by the weight of perception.
Bear witness to ultimate agony
Observing and experiencing the utmost suffering.
Just to cherish you while you're still adhering to blood
Choosing to appreciate someone while they are still connected to their origins and heritage.
And never let you go
Committing to not letting go of the person being cherished.
Bestow my fleeting nerve as a cage for tragedy
Offering one's fragile courage as a container for inevitable tragedy.
Watch your soul slip through my fingertips
Helplessly witnessing the departure of the soul.
With apathy
Experiencing the departure with indifference or lack of emotion.
Grace washes over your carcass
Describing a state where grace covers the lifeless body.
Flowers bloom in the dirt where your heart is
Symbolizing beauty arising in the difficult circumstances surrounding the person's heart.
I felt it arise from whence it came
Sensing a resurgence or manifestation of something from its origin.
And hell follows your beating heart to the grave
Conveying that the concept of hell follows the rhythm of the person's still-beating heart even in death.
Compelled by fate I observe you
Feeling compelled by destiny to watch the person.
Wallowing in faded clutches
Seeing the person immersed in fading grasps or influences.
Bound to serve only casualty
Being bound to serve only the outcome of casualty or misfortune.
At the expense of obligation
Being obligated at the cost of personal duties.
Grace washes over your carcass
Reiterating the idea of grace enveloping the lifeless body.
Flowers bloom in the dirt where your heart is
Reaffirming the emergence of beauty in the difficult conditions surrounding the heart.
A silhouette in a morbid frame
Describing a shadow in a grim or deathly setting.
Capturing an anxiety in unison with the ones you love
Capturing an anxious state shared with loved ones.
Waiting for a sign from above
Awaiting a signal or indication from a higher power.
I felt it arise from whence it came
Reiterating the sense of resurgence or manifestation from its origin.
And hell follows your beating heart to the grave
Echoing that hell continues to follow the person's beating heart even into the afterlife.
