We were born one day apart
I grew teeth, you grew a heart
We became a work of art, surely
You connected, I withdrew
You compiled the stones I threw
I'm a poison pushing through, purely
And all these casualties I can't explain
And all these sunken ships still move inside my vein
And all these bended trees that still remain
With all my mental ease they dance inside my brain
What does it matter now, boy?
Our minds refuse to meet
We walk and then we bleed out
How do we turn around, boy?
We speak in future tense
Into violence
We were born one day apart
You got brushed and I got scarred
A peculiar drawing card, surely
I appalled while you amused
I avenged when you refused
I'm a poison pushing through, purely
And all these casualties I can't explain
And all these sunken ships still move inside my vein
And all these vultures in the window pane
With all my mental ease they dance inside my brain
Your satellite reveals me
You see the tide when I lay still
We can't divide this heartbeat
Your feet will slide on what I've spilled
I grew teeth, you grew a heart
We became a work of art, surely
You connected, I withdrew
You compiled the stones I threw
I'm a poison pushing through, purely
And all these sunken ships still move inside my vein
And all these bended trees that still remain
With all my mental ease they dance inside my brain
Our minds refuse to meet
We walk and then we bleed out
How do we turn around, boy?
We speak in future tense
Into violence
You got brushed and I got scarred
A peculiar drawing card, surely
I appalled while you amused
I avenged when you refused
I'm a poison pushing through, purely
And all these sunken ships still move inside my vein
And all these vultures in the window pane
With all my mental ease they dance inside my brain
You see the tide when I lay still
We can't divide this heartbeat
Your feet will slide on what I've spilled

I think this about memories of toxic past connection that has drawn a lot from you & still continues too.
I’m think I’m taking the most literal interpretation of the lyrics, here it goes: for me it talks about someone with a multiple personality disorder or maybe schizophrenia.
All the verses, plus the not included here (the dark/creepy/gutural “Why I’m covered in blood, why are we covered in blood?”) makes me believe the song is about this mentally-ill person finally losing to its evil personality and committing murder.
I think we mostly listen to the “evil” side in most of the verses, but there are some others definitely spoken by the “innocent” one, like “ With all my mental ease they dance inside my brain” or the previous one I mentioned: “Why are we covered in blood?”
