Terminal Songtext
von IRST

I keep tracing all your scars
Tracing scars that I left on your chest
An incision made to expose the failure inside
I peeled back the ribs to see if you were still alive
But I found an organ, near calcified
My fingerprints left on the valves leaking out your life
Hands of hesitation, sharp like a knife
Cutting away the best years of my life
The diagnosis is terminal, say it slow so I can hear
I′ve been ignoring all the monitors, praying death will disappear
I keep my hands inside the wound, pretending I belong
But it's terminal
And still I keep you here
Stitching you to my bones, so you′ll never leave me alone
My valves are buckling under the pressure of keeping you whole
Now you're just dead weight, attached to my spine
Pumping blood into a corpse, forcing a rhythm you can't absorb


It′s terminal, the us we knew is forever gone
The diagnosis is terminal, say it slow so I can hear
I′ve been ignoring all the monitors, praying death will disappear
I keep my hands inside the wound, pretending I belong
But it's terminal
Every second slips through my hands
I keep counting breaths that never land
I press harder, I cut deeper
Anything to make you answer
The diagnosis is terminal
I should let you go but I′m keeping you alive
Your death is imminent, systems collapse
I'm bridging the gap inside your synapse
You don′t get to leave
You don't get to rest
I′ll breathe the air back into your chest
I'm the one keeping you alive
