lyrics

oh, i can hear you breathing
oh, i can feel you seethe
no, i will not submit beneath your fists
you're just a skeleton to me
(to me)

i see your face in mine as if i wear a mask
a veil of flesh to hide all the sins of your past
perched on the bedpost, an owl in this wilderness
when did this room become a forest?
(to me)

when you see me
i won't be me
take a breath and
breathe in to me
now

i put my trust in you as if you were my guide
inept and impotent you only tried to hide
perched on a treetop, an owl in this wilderness
there is a mirror within this forest

when you see me
i won't be me
take a breath and
breathe in to me
now

you bound yourself to me
in this ancient ceremony
you made me think
that i just can't breathe without you

i can't foresee
a life that's free of madness
you made me think
that i can't be whole without you

you made me bleed
you burned the pyre so bright
you'll never leave
and i just can't breathe without you gone

i just can't breathe without you gone
i just can't breathe without you gone
