[Verse 1]
           And I swam in the wakes of imposters Just to feel what it's like to pretend

[Verse 2]
You found me drifted out to sea
It's automatic
It's telepathic
You always knew me
And you laugh as I search for a harbor
As you point where your halo had been
But the light in your eyes has been squandered
There's no angel in you in the end

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And all that I was
I've left behind me

[Chorus 2]
Eyes in the dead still water
Tried but it pushed back harder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
Knives in the backs of martyrs
Lives in the burning fodder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming

[Bridge]
