My Assassin

The sky blistered red, shot's ring overhead
I'm scaling walls that the soldiers built to muffle out your screams
The message was dislocated, misconveyed, incinerated
In the wake of war, just listen for the flood

The arthritis in us all is choking me out
It's killing me

Maybe you could finally be the one
Who reaches in and saves me from the flood
Collapse, this is our last chance
There's no time for relapse
Just listen for the flood

If not us, can I just save you?
If not us, can I just save you?

Can't you hear the bombs are calling all our old habits their own
A sniper patiently awaiting me in every catacomb
Are you scared girl? Won't you be my assassin?
Hunted down for the last time and carried you home

The arthritis in us all is choking me out
It's killing me

Maybe you could finally be the one
Who reaches in and saves me from the flood
Collapse, this is our last chance
There's no time for relapse
Just listen for the flood
If not us, can I just save you?

Bring on the love 'cause here comes the flood
Bring on the love 'cause here comes

We must have been seduced by the calm of the isle as we tied our
Wrists, our wrists too tight in the shallow, shallow, shallow
[Incomprehensible]

Maybe you could finally be the one
Who reaches in and saves me from the flood
Collapse, this is our last chance
There's no time for relapse
Just listen for the flood

If not us, can I just save you?
