Trapped underneath a cold and shimmering
Veil of lead
Invisible yet slowly drowning
Tied to a stone on the riverbed
A wilted rose fading in crescent moonlight
Hits the stream
The winter current pulls me under
Still yet unseen
Etching my errors
The crimson comforts me
Briefly pulls me out
Of the blackened sea
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't talk, I can't think
Silently choking
I can't see, I can't breathe, I'm so numb, can't you see
My soul withdrawing
I know I'm playing with fire
I just no longer have the desire
I'm here the wheels are turning
But sweet release has me yearning
Staring down upon a rusted blade
The mirrors reflection of
The candlelight, provides no warmth
Confusion setting in
Trapped in a room filled with hellish chatter
With nobody to be seen
I haven't felt like like myself, for what appears to be eternity
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't talk, I can't think
Silently choking
I can't see, I can't breathe, I'm so numb, can't you see
My soul withdrawing
Fading, to grey, it's never ending
Clasping onto thorns just to feel something
I know I'm playing with fire
I just no longer have the desire
I'm here the wheels are turning
But sweet release has me yearning
Fading to grey
Fading to grey
Fading to grey
Fuck your pity
The picture obscene
It must be a dream
The colours leaving
I'm yearning for sleep
Fading to grey
Fading to grey
Fading to grey
I just want to sleep
I know I'm playing with fire
I just no longer have the desire
I'm here the wheels are turning
But sweet release has me yearning
Lustrous patterns, strewn across the bathroom walls
Staring into the cracked mirror
No reflection of me at all
I have managed to escape my fate
Immersed in a guilty sea
Collapsed onto the floor I remain
My own worst enemy
