ROYAL DECEIT present their new single 'Ill', out now on all streaming services.
“This song is about the downward spiral one goes down when a mental illness starts taking over and affecting every part of a person’s inner being. This ultimately leading to the person questioning what triggered the descend into darkness but never reaching the answer which then leads to self-doubt, anger and hopelessness.” - Royal Deceit

LYRICS
An uncontrollable urge
To self-sabotage
I'm a ticking timebomb
That is ready to blow
I feel like giving up on me
I'm in a slow decay
Taking a toll on me
Grab a robe, Tie the noose
Or swallow a pill
I know I'm mentally ill
I'm not gonna make it
Oh god I cannot take it
I'm not able to cope
Oh god I've lost all hope
When did I become so empty
Where did I get left behind
Cause I feel I've changed
Yeah I'm not the same
I'm not the same
Where did everything go wrong
What the hell have I become
Now I can't explain
How I lost my way
I'm so unstable
What a terrible curse
It's only getting worse
Taking over my mind
And Leaving only hurt
I feel it adding up
I've fucking had enough
Make it stop
Make it stop
Make it stop, stop, stop
Let the black clouds cover the sky
Make it stop, make it stop
Let the black clouds cover the sky
All of common sense will die
All of common sense will die
All of common sense will die
All of common sense will die
All of common sense will die
When did I become so empty
Where did I get left behind
Cause I feel I've changed
Yeah I'm not the same
I'm not the same
Where did everything go wrong
What the hell have I become
Now I can't explain
How I lost my way
I'm so unstable
I feel so ill
It’s a mindset I can’t kill
I feel so ill
I cannot kill this
It’s a mindset I can’t
Kill
I can’t
Kill
I can’t
Kill
I can’t
Kill
It’s a mindset I can’t fucking kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
When did I become so empty
Where did I get left behind
Cause I feel I've changed
Yeah I'm not the same
I'm not the same
Where did everything go wrong
Go wrong
What the hell have I become
Become
Now I can't explain
How I lost my way
I'm so unstable
