With Loving Arms Disfigured

For you, I begged for you
I begged and you were gone
For you, I begged for you
For you I begged and you were gone

Sorrowed are the eyes deprived of light
Sealed shut, yet certain of descent
Silenced was the heart deprived of pulse
Paralyzed, falling from frail hands

Drown the wound that is my open mouth
Tearing breath from my contorting throat
Chosen plague, welcomed cancer spread
With flooding lungs, I drank and ached for more

Shelter those who gather underneath my draining wrists
Shielded from the scars unworthy of a stare
For you, I reached and you weren't there

Cleanse the wounds left with you to mourn
Waste no breath on souls you failed to save
Chosen plague, cancer I reclaim
From flooded lungs, you drink and ache for more

For you, I begged
Begged and you were gone
For you, I begged
Begged and you were gone

Shelter those who gather underneath my draining wrists
Shielded from the scars unworthy of a stare
For you, I reached and you weren't there

Shelter those who gather underneath my draining wrists
With loving arms disfigured
I reached for you and you weren't there
You weren't there
