Melting of my marrow

I have to take the turn
Sink hooks and nails so I'll return
And it could get me every time
But I must taste fire
Infectious is the flame that burns

We are what we are
Death unto us all
We are holding back the reigns
We forge down the road less traveled
I'll beware of the snake
With eyes close, revealing what's in front of me

But I'll slow down for you
And if you can speed up
We'll both share something new
'Cause I've grown tired of hiding half truths
Full pictures are the harshest ones to view

We are what we are
Death unto us all
We are holding back the reigns
We forge down the road less traveled
I'll beware of the snake
With eyes close, revealing what's in front of me

And it felt like time was really fast
And life was slow

Master, would you kill me if I ask you?
Reaper, let it bleed and kill me faster
Master, in rejection, in affliction
Reaper, no protection, no disguises
Reveal what's inside of me

I have to take the turn
Sink hooks and nails so I'll return
And it could get me every time
But I must taste fire
Infectious is the flame that burns

We are what we are
Death unto us all
We are holding back the reigns
We forge down the road less traveled
I'll beware of the snake
With eyes close, revealing what's in front of me
