lyrics
Lyrics:
Convictions at the edge of the blade.
Collapsing on the ties that I've made.
Buried in self-contempt.
I brought the party to the gunfight.
A pill once a day keeps my evils at bay.
My pain is self-inflicted, or so they say.
Paranoia is me.
I've devoted my life to collecting stones they've cast at me.
If God is the face of death, then call me a God fearing man.
What lies at the end of the world?
I'm heavy with these existential patterns carved by knives and stencils.
Ink and blood on canvas formed from atrophy inside my fleeting mind.
Why can't I go back to sleep?
The clock is ticking the day away.
Maybe you were right.
Maybe the medicine is useless.
My skin continues aging but my mind's not changing.
Poison. Clear the air from my lungs.
I've never visioned myself as powerless, except in case of malady.
Driven to suffer by catalytic theories of doubt.
Now I can't picture myself as anything but just a ghost of reality.
Now I'm the victim. I'm dying to suspend disbelief.
I'm dying to feel alive.
Maybe you were right.
Maybe the medicine is useless.
My skin continues aging but my mind's not changing.
Now.
Brought the party to the gunfight.
This isn't what it looks like.
I'm suffocating, never changing.
I beg for poise through frenetic noise. Admire the view before I...
By blackened skies and bloodshot eyes, defy myself before I capsize.
Now.
(There's nothing left to say.)
(I'm suffocating.)
So please just leave me alone.
