Merit

[Verse 1]
Blue teeth are
Glowing through my skin
My life is
Hanging from a thread

[Chorus]
Allowing me to skin you
Alive, alive, alive
Allowing me to skin you
Alive, alive, with my bare hands

[Verse 2]
I look into your hazel eyes
As I believe you once were here
You speak no words or make a sound
When will you let me feel your voice

[Chorus]
Allowing me to skin you
Alive, alive, alive
Allowing me to skin you
Alive, alive, with my bare hands

[Verse 3]
Your silence starts to weigh me down
As I begin to fossilize

[Bridge]
If only for a second you would have stopped in bones
I could have driven you to a life of filth
You close the doors
If only I could have listened to your dark demand
You could have driven me to a life of hope

It's all we have now
If you could have listened to me once more, my love
You could have let me speak to you again
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh

I wake up from a vivid dream
So certain of felicity

[Chorus]
Allowing me to skin you
Alive, alive, alive
Allowing me to skin you
Alive, alive
