This constant labour to hide a sickness It's hard to bear the light outside Scared of confrontation, scared of commitment The past is my anchor and I'm sinking The warmth that wraps around me is the substance I consume The dark seems easier on tired eyes so it becomes the home we choose Briefly release this struggle with a sedative It's the only way I can get through this When we leave, leave our minds To escape, escape the fight This temporary fix for all the pain We're medicated just to forget That there's so much beauty in the haze The life in which you're caged We find our comfort in diversion It moulds in our behaviour When consciousness is our burden And we've grown accustom to our failure But the distractions fade away And the effects start to decay Contained to being moderate Through our lack of content Our fear of being something When we leave, leave our minds To escape, escape the fight This temporary fix for all the pain We're medicated just to forget That there's so much beauty in the haze The life in which you're caged
