I had been stuck inside a dream
Where an illness was a treat because
The medicine had never been so sweet
But now I’m waking up today
To find the world I knew a shame
And feel it’s presence churn my stomach
And make my body start to ache
Ignore. Insult.
Invent a mask to cover up
The bitter taste of insolence
Your second face has never looked so nice.
Restrain. Reset.
Return to breaking mirrors with
Your discontent arrangements for your
Counterfeited life.
And though we walk the thinnest line
And though the fear is so alive I’ll try
To embrace and redefine
The flaws in our design
While I was unaware my frame of mind
Could be quantified
I turn to golden statues
Just to find they have hollow insides.
And as a matter of fact
I’ll walk through hell and back
To stop my panic attack
From turning me
Into a slave. I’ve never been so afraid
And I need to stay awake because
Its what I work for night and
Days go by where I can’t seem
To find the air I need to speak the
Words. You. Can’t.
Ignore. Insult.
Invent a labyrinth to hide
the monster of your inner workings
the beast that
You can’t seem to
Restrain. Reset.
And I’ll return the favor by
Raising your poison glass
But I won’t drink to that
And though we walk the thinnest line
And though the fear is so alive I’ll try
To embrace and redefine
The flaws in our design
While I was unaware my frame of mind
Could be quantified
I turn to golden statues
Just to find they have hollow insides.
Swipe at me with crystal knives
I’m not a part of this invisible fight that you think is
Justified and calculated
When all it’s been is manipulated
You’re captivated but it’s in your mind
And I don’t understand
Why you’re wasting your fucking time
Seems like I’m ahead of the curve and it
feels like they’ve got some nerve and it
Tastes like I’m eating my words
Cause I’m always fucking wrong
