Lyrics:
While trying to numb the phantom pain
I spin the bottle contemplating the ways I could cope
Without leaving another stain
Another year of progress down the drain
Take me out of this world
I'm not dancing anymore
You missed the point when I said it, forget it
You had your reasons, fucking trust me, I get it
I've tried to see life from a new perspective
But it's bleak and blackening my eyes instead of
Giving me grace
If this is a race, I'm losing
I'm sick of picking and playing games
I'm choosing my only path
I'm stuck in my ways
I'm cruising out of control
Right into a bed of roses
In the meantime,
I guess I'll just kill some time or kill myself
You're looking down a pit of fire with no way out
Willingly waltz in the inferno and ignite the script
In a two-step with a half-healed limp
A cardiac failure, vessels burst apart
Now find the patterns in the pieces and stitch your heart
With a tremor in hand,
A harsh lesson
But any botched job's better than infection
Ah, shit
I've come undone
Spare me, please run
I've gone somewhere
But it's not where I'd hoped to be
There's still so many jagged edges
At least I've learned to love to bleed
Something here just feels so wrong
I'll embrace what I have become
I know what I am and I'm not afraid
But the whispers are as fierce as the first fucking day
I can try to move in rhythm with the moon
As the waves separate at the seams
Lining my mental case
(Everything's falling down)
Dancing through the wreckage
Choke on the message
(Down)
Come break me down
Kill some time or kill myself
You're looking down a pit of fire with no way out
Willingly waltz in the inferno and reduce the script? Haha
Fuck it
Look at you, so goddamn high
Another day, another bender upon the night
Embrace what you're given and bruise your pride
If I'm dancing, it's straight into the fucking light
I'm sorry Mom and Dad, you've prayed
But I don't know any other way
(I have become)
I have become a shell of your son
It's best to run
Please spare your love
I've come undone
