Barbed Wire

from Narcissus EP by Aescer

lyrics

Silence surrounds me in my cage,
Echoing the weight of each breath.
For every tick and every drip I swell.
I feel no remorse as I sit and watch you in my cell.

Does god weep at the sight of his creation?
A boy in love plagued by deprivation.
Jesus we're not from the same religion
But I can blame you still for self inflicted persecution.

Silence surrounds me in my cage,
Echoing the weight of each breath.

How will you remember me when I am gone?
Am I still the saviour or just lost soul?
I was once so strong and powerful
But now I must be saved from my own foolish persecution.

Last night I had that same dream; an endurance test:
Shards of glass were rubbed by men into my flesh.
Silence surrounds me in my cage,
Echoing, with itching blood, each breath.
