Silent witness to your own demise,
Another excuse, another disguise.
Your selfish sickness leaves a trail behind,
& Lays waste to your whole life.
There is nothing that can be done.
It has taken over, you’ve become,
A manifestation of your own abuse,
No more to gain, no more to lose.
Remember how to empathize,
& Look me in the eyes?
Turn your outsides in, you don’t need your skin,
No part of you can feel anything.
Suffocation.
No motivation, no concentration,
There’s enough smoke in your lungs,
To eclipse the sun.
Cause of death: asphyxiation.
Bottled up & disconnected,
Ignore all of the side effects,
& Turn your outsides in, you don’t need your skin,
No part of you can feel anything.
Purposefully numb, the new sensation.
Chasing the dragon, eyes like the moon.
No more to gain, no more to lose,
You can’t feel the pain if you’re sedated.
Better think fast, it’ll catch up quick.
You can’t keep letting this eat away at you.
Lie to yourself.
You dance around it like there is no problem,
But you know,
If you burn at both ends…
It won’t be long until the wick is gone,
Nothing left.
The things you love just don’t hit home,
& Nothing feels like it used to anymore.
Shedding what remains of who you used to be,
Usurper to throne, should’ve seen it coming.
Hail your new king.
You wanna know what it feels like to be you again,
But your actions contradict your sentiments.
Fragments separated.
Sufficiently sedated.
Turn your outsides in, you don’t need your skin,
No part of you can feel anything.
Purposefully numb, the new sensation.
Chasing the dragon, eyes like the moon.
No more to gain, no more to lose,
You can’t feel the pain if you’re sedated.
You couldn’t be left alone with your thoughts, no,
The silence would eat away at you.
You want to feel important? (yeah)
You want to believe that you have a purpose? (you don’t)
It’s click-bait and misdirection, it’s bullshit,
You couldn’t be further from the truth.
It came for me & it’ll come for you.
No more to gain, no more to lose.
I can’t get enough,
One taste, all was lost.
