lyrics

Drowning in my own emotion, a rage within
I can't dissociate from endless repeats
Whirling syllables of agony
An endless string of misery
Stuck in this desperate miasma
Awaiting release but it never comes
Soul filled with static, mind of red
No longer engaging with reality

Neurons firing in constant shift
Trying to burrow out of my skull
Overwhelming every sensation
Externalise or suicide

Trying to focus on swimming thoughts
Staring at the skin I wish to excise
Constant aggrandising visages
Attempting to manipulate my core
Trying to break the cycle
But the web has consumed me within
Multicolour flashes of PTSD
Roiling horror inside mute flesh

Neurons imploding as I slowly succumb
Without an outlet of release
Silently screaming into a void
When my mouth no longer exists

The perfect vessel for this bile
Leather-bound tome becomes my tool
Excising the sickness that ties my tongue
Draining essence onto ink-blotted page
I see the results of my endeavours
A catalogue of my thoughts
Restructuring in my mind
As I experience mental tectonic shift

I stare at my former reality
As if from a cosmic eye
All I ever knew
Reduced to insignificance
A life once with meaning
Now rendered generic
Everything out of focus
Under the tilt shift
