Internal Suffering

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Flesh is a cage that I built with my teeth

Something inside me is chewing its way out

Bone splinters bloom in a garden of pulp

I am the host and the hunger at once

Veins like wet ropes pulling tighter each hour

Nothing in here was designed to survive

Pre-Chorus

Gnawing

Gnawing

Through the wall of my own skin

Chorus

Internal suffering

Devouring me slow

Internal suffering

Nowhere left to go

Rot in the marrow

Crawl through the meat

Internal suffering

No god underneath

Post-Chorus

Tear it open

Tear it open

Verse 2

Woke up today and my hands were not mine

They moved like spiders across the wet linen

Something is nesting behind both my eyes

Laying its eggs in the soft of my mind

I pray to the sickness to take me apart

It answers in gurgles and answers in gristle

Pre-Chorus

Feeding

Feeding

On the last of what I was

Chorus

Internal suffering

Devouring me slow

Internal suffering

Nowhere left to go

Rot in the marrow

Crawl through the meat

Internal suffering

No god underneath

Post-Chorus

Tear it open

Tear it open

Breakdown

Suffer (suffer)

Suffer (suffer)

Suffer inside me

Suffer (suffer)

Suffer (suffer)

Nothing will save me

Bridge

Low deep in the gut there is a voice it is not mine

Low deep in the gut there is a voice it is not kind

Low deep in the gut there is a church made of my spine

And it sings

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Count every organ like beads on a chain

Name every error that cursed me to breathe

Blood is a language my body keeps screaming

I am the wound and the wound is still speaking

Peel back the chest and the choir is waiting

Groaning in octaves too low to be human

Chorus

Internal suffering

Devouring me slow

Internal suffering

Nowhere left to go

Rot in the marrow

Crawl through the meat

Internal suffering

No god underneath

Outro

Slow

Slow

Suffering

Inside

Me
