Recluse Video (MV)

I'm holding on
To the only fleeting
Part of me
That keeps me in myself
I'm falling
Deeper into that which has
A grip on my insides
And all that is without

Now for the vanishing act, oh my God
The shadows, the walls, have always had my back
I scratch my skin til I bleed, drown in my river of need
Caught in the noose of self reduction
Running my body to bone, the reaper of what I sow
Disgusting existence
All eyes behold, lend me your glare
Behold the burden I bear

Please, let me breathe
The silence is my friend now
Please, let me be
No one needs to know what I feel
Please, can't you see?
You're only wasting your time
Please, let me rot in my own skin

If my mind is the ocean, your words are the undertow
Wrapped around my ankles, and they're pulling me below
So when I've reached the bottom, healing water will fill my lungs
Take a look back through the water, and watch what I become
