Counterparts - Strings of Separation

Drifting through decaying arteries
Repurposing the shell that I have severed to withstand paralysis
Straining as my eyes lose the ability to see
Displaced by my disease pursuing darkness

Instinct will carry me across a fragile plain
To burn in the deficiency of sun
Scatter my remains when the flesh withers away

Remember me for all I failed to be
When my misery comes to an end
Deliver me to a place I'll never leave
I wish I could feel safer in my skin

Chiseling my name into the clouds
To alleviate the burden of the dead
That wander without direction
Depart from the existence I've denounced
Embedded in the souls that I once lead

Sewing strings of separation in the centre of a storm

I wish I could feel safer in my skin
I wish I could feel safer in my skin

Remember me for all I failed to be
When my misery comes to an end
Deliver me to a place I'll never leave
I wish I could feel safer in my skin
