Letterkills

Down on my hands and knees
The Scala Sancta crawl
Leaves me feeling like I firewalk in vain

Am I just feeding a fire
That will set me ablaze?
Running around in the dark
Inside an endless maze

I see the blueprint
But still can't cope
The mirror's edge
That destroys all hope

No hope, it cuts like knife
Letterkills
No, it does not give life
It buries me deeper

This is the letter that kills
This letter kills

All this time I was just pouring salt in wounds
This is the letter that kills
As I looked for life but only found a tomb
This is the letter that kills
I am diving deep to darker depths
Shallowing my breath
As I hold on to the ministry of death
Carved into stone

No end in sight, but still I climb
Each step I'm further left behind
Why does it feel like the bottom
When I climb to reach the top?

What will override
The system of my pride?
The glitch inside the virus
That sinks its teeth
Into every single vein

All this time I was just pouring salt in wounds
This is the letter that kills
As I looked for life but only found a tomb
This is the letter that kills
I am diving deep to darker depths
Shallowing my breath
As I hold on to the ministry of death

Down on my hands and knees
The Scala Sancta crawl
Leaves me feeling like it's all in vain
All in vain

Tell me, what does the letter kill
But any hope of life?
This is the letter that kills
This letter kills

All this time I was just pouring salt in wounds
This is the letter that kills
As I looked for life but only found a tomb
This is the letter that kills
I am diving deep to darker depths
Shallowing my breath
As I hold on to the ministry of death

This is the letter that kills
This letter kills
This is the letter that kills
This letter kills
