Hesitation Wounds Lyrics

(God cares for you
Are you going through a hard time?
God cares for you and so do we)

I am my fear held in trembling hands, convulsing in the shape of a cross burned into my skull
Embraced by packs of rabid wolves fixated on my neck
Aimed at anguish I can't see breeding in my brain
Through a storm of ash my preferred poison rains
Collecting on pale skin like frost
Clung to forked tongues until there's nothing left

(God cares for you)

I am my fear held in trembling hands, contorting a crucifix-like spine burned into my skull
Temptation lingering above the skin
Like images of angels opening veins where there were wings

Sickness instilled as immaculate conception
Though I've never been a virgin to despair
Hesitation wounds like works of art that decorate the earth in familiar shades of black
Retracing scars until there's nothing left

I am my fear held in trembling hands
I am no virgin to despair
Swallowing nails in place of pills
I am my fear held in trembling hands
