A blank page / A clean slate / Baptized in heartbreak How much more can I take? Emotionally bankrupt / Programmed to destruct Lower the bar while raising the stakes
Caught in the grip / As my mind starts to slip A matter of time before my health starts to fade No fountains of you / Just a downpour of truth And memories of back in the day
Ashes ripped from saline skies / Masochistic rites
A lifeless look in your eyes / Lost in your masquerade Continue with the charade / Pretending that you're still alive Cocaine casualty / Predetermined duality Liver spots as kidneys fail / Wrapped in a plastic veil
Ashes ripped from saline skies / Masochistic rites Salt the tear and dim your eyes / The light berates the night
The scent of stain we can't erase / Encased in our embrace Soiled skin and open wounds / Entombed amongst the waste
I see right through your disguise / The eyes they never lie Deception drips from your lips / And revenge crosses my mind
Left wrapped in plastic down by the shore Blood clotting scarlet both harlot and whore The scent of perfume I cannot ignore And this faith that I cannot restore
