Lyrics

Self Obsessed
Indecision
I bet you never even tried to listen
Desperation
Feeds Complacency
But that's always been enough for me

I'll be your leech
The only reason I'm here
Is to take what you've got and fill you with the fear
Take it alive or dead
Are you uncomfortable yet
Well that's what I want and it's what you'll get
I'll keep the people fat and fed

I tried to scream
I tried to fight
But I can't ever get it right
Pretend that it's not killing me
Make believe I'll always be
Scared of the light
I close my eyes
So I can't see the passing time
I think I'm gonna die in this place

Don't let me
Escape this
It's more than
My fate it's
Just how I
Was made and
Now I've got nothing left to say

Have I given my all
I won't give anymore
Bleed it dry a thousand times
Bring it back each time it dies

Your porous skin and blinded eyes
Every touch
Makes me die
You let me in
I let you lie
I swear this is the last time

I know She knows
It happens every time
Replay rewind
We're not getting out alive
Burn it to the ground
And start it over now
I know she knows
It'll be better next time around

I memorized the architecture
Of every room I swore I'd leave
Every exit wore your silhouette
Until your shadow claimed me
Pacing walls
Dragging days
Are we safe here
This room remembers my name
I carved my name where all the light refused to stay
I watched tomorrow rot beneath the weight of yesterday
Helpless
I am slow decay

Don't let me
Escape this
It's more than
My fate it's
Just how I
Was made and
Now I've got nothing left to say

I know She knows
It happens every time
Replay rewind
We're not getting out alive
Burn it to the ground
And start it over now
I know she knows
It'll be better next time around

Bleed it dry a thousand times
Bring it back each time
It
Dies
