lyrics

Lifeless!
Pain, and!
Regret!
All I feel!
Cigarettes!
Destress!
Repress!
This is what's on my mind!

Of course,
I've never been who I want to be,
I never had time to get back to re-constructing me,
Let's dive in deeper into the source

In the back of my mind,
I hear there's a cry,
"Perfection"
Yet it's disguised,
An enemy inside the canvas,
Trying to seige,
Trying to breach the walls I built,
Nothing is real, nothing is good,
P-p-p-p-patiently waiting the day that I can fix this,
Anxiety breaking me down, I need a quick fix,
Im smoking, im burning, im heated like a forest,
Is there any hope for me, god?

So here I wait,
With bated breath,
Hoping to find an answer to,
Everything that I dont know,
Going 60 miles per hour here,

Im gone!
Haven't heard a single word you said,
Im trapped inside this complicated brain,
Trying to break free from these chains,
I havent left the labyrinth

With the weight of every burden,
Every motion that I make,
Is like a constant wheel that's turning,
Screaming all of my mistakes,
Its mixing fire with the alcohol,
To permeate the flames,
And it's killing me that I can never seem to make it go away,
I'm sick of all the feelings that are flowing through my mind,
I'm sick and tired of the words that tell me I should fuckin die,
And that there's nothing I can do and that I'll never be alright,
Light the cigarette and cry,
Give up and don't try,
You're not alive

Now you all,
Feel my pain!

Day after day I spend pacing,
Leaving this world to something more amazing,
With every step I take, I drink the poison,
Drinking it down till nothings left in,
Just one more drink,
Just one more step,
Just one more taste,
Of a life I yearn,
No surprise, it's my demise

Lifeless!
Pain, and!
Regret!
All I feel!
Cigarettes!
Destress!
Repress!
This is what's on my mind!

So here I wait,
With bated breath,
Hoping to find an answer to,
Why I am the way I am,
This god damn curse,

This god damn curse,
Has left me scared,
Awaiting the day it will end my life,
Why can't I break free from this strife,
Still trapped inside this labyrinth,

Where is god,
Why has he left me here to battle a crusade,
Against an enemy that has no body yet it follows me,
Its like a shadow on the wall,
Or like a shark inside the sea,
It's a predator predating everything that we have ever lived,
I feel it getting stronger,
Crawling deep inside my mind,
And yet my body fails to fight it,
Like a fuckin parasite,
I am nothing,
I am no one,
I will never be alright,
Light the cigarette and cry,
Give up and don't try,
You're not alive

Now you all, Feel my pain
