lyrics

Is it a relief to feel stained?
Whispers of unworthiness that you suppressed confirmed
Is it a relief to look down and see
The hands of a monster?

Is it a regret when you wake?
Fleeting repulsion at her sweet sleeping face
Is it a regret when you step from the shower
And the mirror shows that ordinary monster?

Your silent body
In the magnifying glass
Let's see how real you are

Is it a reprieve to feel burned?
Whatever you committed will peel fresh foreign flesh from you
Is it a reprieve when your proprioception
Feels the distortion of the monster?

Is it a refrain that you hear?
Have you repeated yourself enough times now?
Do you restrain yourself or do you truly just not want to any longer?

Your silent body
In the magnifying glass
Let's see how real you are
