lyrics

As I wither in the sun
No limbs to protect
I feel the light etch into my chest

So immovable
Habits grow
No where left
To hide myself
So immovable
Blame sorrow
Feeling lost and lonely
And anchored to this earth

I remember the times of Inosculation
A topiary dream that I stole
From my chemical composure
I hope I gave enough

Weathered soil shows my roots
(Pile it on)
Wisteria vines are choking me
(pile it on)
The trees suffer their bloom
(Pile it on)
I suffocate in my gloom

I burn like a wildfire
(Pile it on)
Will I survive
(Pile it on)
This drought
(Pile it on)
Or will I die in my thoughts
