Everson Poe - The Precipice Lyrics

At the edge of the precipice
At the threshold i've stood once before
I am my own nemesis
I'm the wolf at the door
Oh my shame

Stake the claim
Dig into flesh with my hands
I'll excise the lie
Stretch the skin
Gangrenous, rotting within
I will never be clean
Break the bones
Finding the sculpture in stone
No matter the cost
Birth from death
Sacrifice all that i have
I will never be free

Take this pain
What is left?
Light the flame
Burn the rest

Why must i hide
Death in my eyes?
Why does the truth
Feel like a lie?

Bring your dead
Heed the call
On my shame
We will fall
