Relax
Mindful decay
I can't think
I can't speak
Caving
Chest cavity
Paranoid
I've seen this all before
Déjà vu
I can fucking taste it
I can't seem to turn off the n o i s e inside my head
Aware, but not awake
Aware, but not awake
My chest is sinking
My heart is swimming

I'm counting teeth
A sunken home beneath these streets
Bleeding blue through and through
And I'm unfolding
Waxing, waning
Watching, waiting
Waxing, waning
Every day's the -
fucking same, I -
can't think straight, I'm -
A ghost in my own mind
Thoughts convulsing
Waxing, waning, watching
I'm unfolding
Waxing, waning, watching
Waxing, waning
Watching, Waiting
Empty the conscience
Clueless, but I'm an open letter
Sensitive but numb
Self aware but so fucking dumb
Useless clairvoyant
A selfish rhetoric
I'd rather be vain than learn to hate myself again
Waxing, waning, watching
I'm unfolding
Waxing, waning, watching
Waxing, waning
Watching, waiting

Free them from enslavement, you cowards
The river runs red with blood every hour
I can feel the fear deep in my bones
Never leaves me the fuck alone
They crawl
Lest we speak
Evolving hunger pains
Stillness caresses the medulla oblongata
Free them from enslavement, you cowards
Pitch black sky remains overpowered
Creeping through my mind like a virus
I’m afraid of what's inside us
Drink the water
Of the tainted river
Taste the void
A toast to power
The whole soul just up and vanished
Free them from enslavement, you cowards
They crawl
Creeping through my mind like a virus
I’m afraid of what's inside us

The blood spilling
Flesh milk
It's okay to be ill
Right?
Right?
I just need more goddamn sleep
Pathetic
Selfish
Waste of skin
I'm no fucking victim
I'm a fucking coward
Exuding guilt
Supressing the deepest darkest parts of me
And
I hurt myself again
Pathetic
Selfish
Waste of skin
The blood spilling
Flesh milk
It's okay to be ill
Right?
