lyrics

No need to keep pretending
Just go before you're gone
I see the doom impending
And I know it won't be long

Ampersand I understand
My heart is still the same as once before
And as it pulses in your hand
That blood spilled on the floor is just
The last subtle reminder
I'm still human after all

I hope that I'm not right
About the hollow veins in you
Somehow you're still alive
Not changed and nothing new

Although I've been dismembered
My surrender was sent
Have I just misremembered?
Or just wanted to forget

I can't pretend I want to spend time
Trying to win an apocalyptic war
I wish that I could just ignore
Not knowing what I'm dying for
And pray that I can override
The confines of this human form again

I hope that I'm not right
About the hollow veins in you
Somehow you're still alive
Not changed and nothing new
I'm sure that I’ll survive
As mortals tend to do
But once you see the light
I doubt you'll make it through
