Counterparts - Cherished Lyrics

I am the dagger

I will drive into my heart

To drain myself of my impurity



Abandoned at conception

Feeding off affection left behind

I'll never know acceptance

If people only come to me to die



All I've cherished will run from my embrace

Nothing will stay, nothing will stay

Dwell in my debris

Never knowing how it feels to be at peace

(Nothing will stay)



A confidence I could never conceive

When the weight of insecurity becomes too much to bear

Perception will deceive me

Losing sight as I stare into a razor

To be rewarded, collections of my flaws



I am the dagger, I will drive into my heart

I am the dagger, I will drive into my heart

To drain myself of my impurity

I am the blade forced into my face

Rearranging features for the pleasure of perfection



Losing sight as I stare into a razor

To be rewarded, collections of my flaws



All I've cherished will run from my embrace

Nothing will stay, nothing will stay

Dwell in my debris

Never knowing how it feels to be at peace

(Nothing will stay, nothing will stay)

All I've cherished will run from my embrace

Nothing will stay, nothing will stay
