lyrics

Could I have a minute’s silence without leaving my mind?
An escape from the cacophony booming on both sides
Shiv the cortex, flames lick the scathing walls within
Swimming tainted waters of original sin
Taking the time on my hands, as if you haven’t got your own
You could surround me with cameras and I wouldn’t feel less alone
Because they’re too busy mulling over every blemish
to hear their own clock ticking, I swear to God

I’m finished with you
I’ve planted a nail-bomb on the doorstep
Just for you

I block out my dreams and get about an hour of sleep
The mental exhaustion’s enough to make me feel like I’m deep
My train of thought stumbles in and out of reality
I’m not that smart, what few beliefs I have left are a fallacy
There’s a darkness approaching like a cyst on the sky
It’s creeping through my window, there’s nowhere I can hide
The shadows bite and caress, they want to soil my name
But how can I fight it? After years of chasing light, maybe

It’s time for a change
Try as much as I might, I’ll always be
The same

So now I lie twisted, warped like a weathered wooden toy
Circling clouds above soaked up the last of my joy
I want to branch out alone, but I guess that’s too much to ask
I’d rather not come first but I’m terrified of being last
Finally! I’ve lost what I couldn’t believe I’d gained
Now I’m pitching my tent a few miles south of sane
Praise is one thing I never actively seek
So if life is a trip, then it looks like I’ve already peaked

But don’t quote me on that
I might be feeling fine in a couple of weeks
