I Won't Come Back Alive

My body is taken by the cells inside

They'll consume me, hollow, turn me dry

I've got no way to fight this on my own

Whatever ails me fades a stable soul

Turn up the lights, sear it away

Now it's unending, fills the body wide

How long 'til this common life will fold

Turn up the lights, sear it away

It's what you can't know

I won't come back alive

Both eyes retire, all bones are dark

Down to dust
