Stiff

Verse:
I am an insomniac
Waking up inside an egg
Push until the shell goes crack
Spilling out against your leg

Verse:
You can’t stay awake in school
For we meet most every night
Cold and close under the moon
Pressing your warm lips to mine

Chorus:
Prying open
Parasite skin
Dark love embraces me
Completely
Unknowingly
Something new grows in you

Verse:
I think I have made you sick
You won’t come outside no more
My body lays frozen solid
On the mausoleum floor

Chorus:
Prying open
Parasite skin
Dark love embraces me
Completely
Unknowingly
Something new grows in you

Verse:
Now there is a second beat
Frightened you collapse and cry
Push my fingers past your teeth
To pull out what I left inside

Bridge:
I thought you felt no pain
I’m sure you felt no pain

Chorus:
Prying open
Parasite skin
Dark love embraces me
Completely
Unknowingly
Something new grows in you

Outro:
Under moonlight
No hearts beating
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Close our eyes until we fall asleep
