Nowhere near the Blade

Take a breath, it's only oxygen you're losing after all Pay no mind to any notion that the walls are closing in Look around at all the evidence you're safe inside this room Remember me, remember every time I held your hand to tell you this When you feel that too-familiar pulling in your lungs Just count backwards; it isn't death you're running from When you feel the acid bubbling up inside your lungs Have no fear; your thread is nowhere near the blade Now you see just how deceitful all the ghosts inside you are Let them know you won't surrender to their woeful cries, their clever bribes I send my love, send it like countless troops to penetrate the walls Watch them burn, watch them disintegrate beneath my hands, my steady hands Please don't let it take you down Don't let it take you down Don't let it take you down
