The void inside us all
I've reached a breaking point, neurosis explores my body's joints
Petrified in awe of this nightmare i cannot find a way to name
I'm left in fear that no one will recognize the real me
I know... lachrymose through a casting call of teeth
Underneath, my self worth depletes (a grin disguises the lie)
Happiness is vague, where's my salvation?
I don't know
Crippling anxiety, psychosomatic delusions inside of me
An eternal detachment from this world i see
Addictions to the prescription drugs and whores
High and mighty metaphors (take me away)
It's all esoteric, my mental aesthetic
A lethargic depressing epidemic
And everything takes a turn for the worst
The words, incoherent, sporadic, disappointed
These scars worn and jaded, codeine leaves me numb and faded
A disease built with these trembling hands, left crawling on the pavement
And the broken glass, frozen in concern
Words bear no comfort, there's no letting go
Trying to deal with somatic detachment
Never felt so low
Daggers across the skin, poisoned with doubt
Noose 'round my throat as my heads in the clouds
Stake of Retribution
Obsession my sweet disease
Heart clenched by the arbiter blade
Wrapped 'round my heart
Feeling the vow of acceptance & grief inside of me
Life with this fate... the battle never ends
I don't know if i'll ever be okay
Rome wasn't built in a day
