Is the ground still beneath me?
Am I floating in air?
Do my own eyes deceive me
and why do I care?
I can feel my breath quicken
I can feel the despair
My saliva now thickens
I feel worse for the wear
Lungs filled with embers
eyes crusting over
teeth frail and rotten
skin pale and blotching
Who is there
in the mirror?
Who is this creature staring with such fear?
Sitting here
a sickly air
This is not a person
just a shadow of despair
Filled with confusion
a toxic intrusion
Keep falling further
into the illusion
Where can I go from here?
I can feel myself disappear
Do I let myself wither
or stand and take the reins?
Take the reins
As I sink beneath the fog
drowning in the misery
I chose not to let go
I think of my mistakes
I think of all the things that I should of fucking changed
Now I'm sinking further down
deep beneath the surface, so far
I'll surely drown
what's the point of looking up?
I've chased away the only ones who try to lift me up
Shame
and misery
Every inhale seems to chase it all away
Flame
to the foil brings
a silence to the voice of suffering
It wakes me from reality
It keeps my from reality
Reality
As I sink beneath the fog
drowning in the misery
I chose not to let go
I think of my mistakes
I think of all the things that I should of fucking changed
Now I'm sinking further down
deep beneath the surface, so far
I'll surely drown
what's the point of looking up?
I've chased away the only ones who try to lift me up
Who is there
in the mirror?
Who is this creature
staring with such fear
Thinning hair
a sickly air
This is not a person
just a shadow of despair
Bring me peace
Drag me beneath
Bring me peace
I want release
Bring me peace
I want release
