Neurotic and over obsessive
Compulsive and manic regressive
Bending over backwards trying to realign my spine
Breaking my back
But enjoying the feeling of life as it was born to the world
Painful and lonely at it's worst
Putting sick vertibrates back in line
Just to see that they grow apart again in time
The only thing that keeps me together
Is the rope tied tight from my neck to the ground
Falling up into this noose as I reach for the sky
Everything i've struggled for is falling behind
Obsessed with failure
In love with misery
Counting the moments as they bleed away
I hold death's hand like a boy hold's his mothers
As she leads him through life just to suffer
Neurotic and over obsessive
Compulsive and manic regressive
Bending over backwards trying to realign
Breaking my back
But enjoying the feeling of dying slow
Slow burn
The dust settles around my feet as I carve into the world
But nothing works, no, nothing works
I sculpt and sweat my life into idols
Just to take too much and watch them crumble
And they fall hard, and they fall fast
I hold the pieces up to the light and at last
I see my effort was for nothing
Just scratching aimless at the ground
In front of a laughing crowd
Hahahahaha
But guess who's laughing now,
When all the tables have turned and you begin to drown,
All the ashes inside of this fragile heart,
My body hurts, i'm addicted to the slow burn
