Numb without feeling, I drink down the pain Silence spills out, like the quiet that follows a rain Slowly I’m tearing, tear-tearing away little bit by little bit, coming apart unable beat it, to keep it at bay
Held captive by the enemy, the enemy inside You may think I’ve lost it, my mind gone completely Spinning, spin-spinning slightly faster than most But more than my mind, it’s my life I hold close
Leaving me here, trapped in my own head A fate worse than that of ending up dead All alone I seethe, still painted in your sin Runaway, run-runaway make your escape Such is a dangerous game you choose play
But time will give way, as time always does Now on the outside, that what once was locked in Set free from these jackets that bind and soft walls of white they’re in Chasing, chase-chasing my prey I will find You’re more savage, more evil than I ever could be So much uglier than any beast living in me
How I long to Introduce you, to the thing I’ve become The monster you created to use, just your toy No longer of need, abandoned tossed aside Fester, fest-fester emotions grow hot Still locked in a box, forgotten left to rot
So patiently I’ll wait, just sit bide my time Worth it, every second each slip of the mind Ticking, tick-ticking the hours melt away With the voices building angrier with each passing day
But soon enough I will show you the horrors that await Then your laughter, laugh-laughter is sure to abate As your cruel joke comes to a bitter end moments just moments and then, well… that’s when the true madness begins (hide spoiler)]
temperature drops can feel your breath on my lips the slightest adjustment of your hips gone so fast like it never was never was I steel my spine to a truth I can’t deny breathe in deep close my eyes slip away to clear my mind let certainty take root you’re not here not here just a figment a cruel creation dream that walks the line balancing between reason and lunacy lunacy carefully testing my grip on reality air still so thick with a you that does not exist did you ever?.. I’d once have sworn you did now…my confidence wavers wavers as the emptiness envelops me (hide spoiler)]
