lyrics

Names carved deep in my skin
With the promises you’ll never surrender
A lifeless shell
Laid out on the bed
The images I’m forced to remember
Deafening scream
Bleeding within
Shaking my core till the end
Eroding what’s left of my strength
Deeper again,
Making me sick
Purging the bile from my lungs
All that remains is collected

The grey is in our veins
Corroded from the inside out
We sell our time to waste away
Addicted to this misery
A bleak dependency
Break control and turn away

Fear and spite,
My masochistic drives,
These phantom incisions remind me that I am not mean to survive

Years gone
I still waste away
Knowing that you’ll never allow my escape
A moment of madness
Is all that it takes
To find yourself compromised ready to break
Blood in the paint
Cover the stains
Forcing the details to fade
Within every room in my memory
Losing my way
Circle the drain
Withering to the decay
Digging a grave for my empathy

Hear me,
I’m ready to confess to my disgrace
Believe me,
I never thought I’d end up in this place

The grey is in our veins
Corroded from the inside out
We sell our time to waste away
Addicted to this misery
A bleak dependency
Break control and turn away

Straining to regain some sense of clarity
Giving into this perpetual despondency
Spiralling head first down into obscurity
The grey sets in my veins
There’s no human left in me
