[Verse 1] Hearts beat from the outside Decay Blooddrained lack Who are you? Temptation entails our seething wish This feeling here Its tricked me Im ripping my skin away from itself And I can sense a faint disinterest begin Of ripping ourselves in shame of our sin Ripping apart our boundaries lack from within [Chorus] Instead, sleeping in the insects Ecdysis then comes, hence Sloughing off the lies that incessantly deceive us Fly before they reach us Bleeding as Ive shed myself and mourned Escaping again [Verse 2] Now standing here Im naked, and lucidly aware Spit to spite all demons gleaming lust of our flesh Empty hands to dig this tender muscle of scabs Dreaming, your eyes bleeding [Chorus] Instead, sleeping in the insects Ecdysis then comes, hence Sloughing off the lies that incessantly deceive us Fly before they reach us Bleeding as Ive shed myself and mourned [Bridge part 1 x2] Now standing here still bleeding Standing here fear reaching Standing here this question rises Is this part of my soul? [Verse 3] Lord, take me as Im writhing here All unfolds the seethings rind And take me as I wake again For all its worth, I will be all yours Is this part of my soul sleeping Embrace this chance of mercy here Despite the licking lips I fear Ive shed myself and mourned [Chorus] Instead, sleeping in the insects Ecdysis then comes, hence Sloughing off the lies that incessantly deceive us Fly before they reach us Bleeding as Ive shed myself and mourned Escaping again
