Choking on Sand - Arsis

Faster, Faster!

Fervor or fright?

These are the trappings of a jealous plight

When adoration is never enough

I could not find the words, I was choked up

I never said I was free of sin

But I am choking on the sand you buried your head in

I would take all the doubt that’s inside you

But I am sorry, I’m not that strong

Would you take a piece of my soul instead?

I am sure that would not take long

Is it love or loath?

This breath of silence will harm us both

My adoration was always at hand

Although my words were choking on sand

With the throes of spite our time was unfurled

Forget regret because I am bleeding out

It will never be us against the world

Faster, fester, faster still!

This is the fate of a jealous will!

I never said I was free of sin

But I am choking on the sand you buried your head in

When you buried your head, you buried me… dead…

You just buried your head, so bury me, just bury me

I would take all the doubt that’s inside you

But I am sorry, I’m not that strong

Would you take a piece of my soul instead?

I am sure that would not take long
