lyrics
my pores accumulate
an infinite collection of flesh to take
I bleed in centre stage
pass me now the scalpel to escape this ache
I hyperventilate
never thought I’d be here with no thoughts to break
I bleed in centre stage
none of my affections to protect me
from myself
my pores accumulate
an infinite collection of flesh to take
I bleed in centre stage
pass me now the scalpel to escape this ache
guess who saw this first
guess who thought this first
the woman in the screen draws every hole sees every pore bleeds every vein flicks on the switch inside of me
before I was even born she had seen it all
with her eyes shut
felt the blood pump
accumulation
before I was even born she had seen it all
with her eyes shut
felt the blood pump
accumulation
my pores accumulate
an infinite collection of flesh to take
I bleed
accumulation
an infinite collection of flesh to take
I bleed in centre stage
pass me now the scalpel to escape this ache
I hyperventilate
never thought I’d be here with no thoughts to break
I bleed in centre stage
none of my affections to protect me
from myself
my pores accumulate
an infinite collection of flesh to take
I bleed in centre stage
pass me now the scalpel to escape this ache
guess who saw this first
guess who thought this first
the woman in the screen draws every hole sees every pore bleeds every vein flicks on the switch inside of me
before I was even born she had seen it all
with her eyes shut
felt the blood pump
accumulation
before I was even born she had seen it all
with her eyes shut
felt the blood pump
accumulation
my pores accumulate
an infinite collection of flesh to take
I bleed
