1. INTRO

Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself


2. LEECHES

Excuses leave me guiltless, guilty.
You'll never see the scars, on the inside.
I've never exposed, what I chose, to hide.
You'll never see the scars, on the inside.
Excuses leave me guiltless, guilty.
Peel back my skin to expose broken bone, the leeches burrow, pull out what I've never known.
Lies beneath.
Peel back my skin to expose.
The leeches burrow.


3. TRANSPARENCY

Between the sheets, beyond the veil.
Glass eye, marble tongue.
The secrets I keep locked up, inside.
I know its not healthy to keep from purging, but the shadow is all I've ever known.
My silhouette follows me wherever I go.
I can't out run it.
I can't get away from it.
I know its not healthy to keep from purging, but the shadow is all I've ever known.
Block out the sun, now all I see is darkness.
Bring me to the sun, I want to escape this darkness.
Darkness.
Purge the darkness.


4. SPIRIT REMAINS

The grave, my father.
The worm, my mother.
I'm learning to forsake safety even though it's all I've ever known.
Step off the ledge, bones break, spirit remains.
Bricks break, grass fades, spirit remains.
I'm learning to forsake safety even though it's all I've ever known.
I am held Eternal.


5. SEVER

Gouge out my eyes, let me see You for who You are.
Gouge out my eyes, let me see me for who I am.
Clenched fist, grinding teeth. Sever my ailments.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Gouge out my eyes, let me see You for who You are.
Separate my flesh from me, cure me of this disease.
Sever.
