puppybreath - shadows in the attic lyrics

stretching but i’m rootbound
rotting from the watering
carving out my form of clay then say you are the paragon
blameless with no antecedent
dispel all those labeled rejects
arbitration ends when all the rumors of abuse are vanquished

stripping off my biceps
so i cannot feed myself
crawling on my hands and knees
to track the darkness that it brings
raising up a spiteful army just to crush my fragile breathing
so you could then feel less guilty when you’re faced with your own actions

keep compact
compressing all the care you lack
i’m freezing on the deck
when you can’t see beyond thе mask i put up to distract
the effort is not presеnt
and the wind blows out the garbage
to reveal what wasn’t bolted
to the frame of my environment

sinking in the sediment
blaring sirens to compose the case against my own existence
suffering is only kismet
for the life i chose to lead
one with meat beyond the cover
burgeoning with eyes and kidneys
meant to filter all the visions
suck nutrition from my brain stem
you will only drop from poison
shake like babies, puke the fibers
that i use to stitch together
what was left when i surrendered
passed the test but i still faltered
while you’re keeping your composure
how can you keep your composure?

when you pulled the rug from under
strips of red have marked my elbows
listless motions to prove value
while you’re lacking all forbearance
screeching like a red hot kettle
filled with blackened tar+like substance
crusting on the coils
pouring you a cup of bile
so you choke it down and catch the image of what i’m containing

it’s salacious how you focus on my body parts you notice
if it doesn’t fit your coding
my nature’s seen as contortion
cuz you couldn’t see the process that brought me discovery

eureka, eureka!
there’s another path for vibrancy
to form myself and scr+p the mask
that n0body could do for me
abiding by your stagnant expectations only brought me ever closer to what cuts my feet before it pulls me under
i was beating on the door and hoping you would grant me access
but now i know the echo only made the task seem larger
when i couldn’t feel my fingers, leaving blood upon the altar
you would lap it up and take the form of what you thought could alter
what gave air in my lungs, taken by the one who made them
in your gut, tied to a monster
but i can’t absorb compassion
it’s the actions that you lack that overcome the words you back
you’re holding progress at the neck if it refuses to comply

clipping at the stem and pray the branches choose to multiply
the life that’s set before me doesn’t hold sp+ce for erasure
can’t contain her
your display of how you view me only rolls off of my feathers
headless martyr forming blisters
that will burst when i come closer
magnetizing like i’m cobalt
thrown inside your home computer

growling at the shadows in the attic
i never knew different
it’s cemented to my skull
my scalenes failing to lift up
my nervous system has grown numb to what i may encounter
benefit or sinister
the world is dark and i’m a guest
i sort the pebbles from the pills
to not acknowledge i’m a speck
