Submit to the numbness of narcotic sleep It dulls my eyes and dilates under the expanse of grey skies The dark comes to surface In my dreams the world burns Falling like prisms Turned numb to the pain
Like my father spit on me Tell me how worthless I am
As daylight filters leaves She wept so many tears for me Of desperation
Forgive me father Forsaken have been left to die
The walking dead surround me The hubris of our shame Sleepwalkers and the lemmings of modern day
...and I'm sorry I always pushed you away Please let me go
Cradled in its grip with a gun up to my head Stomach aches Skin is white I'm always back for more
[Chorus]
You wanted to live Time lapsed while I couldn't breathe (couldn't breathe) Inspiration has died (you cannot open my eyes) ...and nothing makes me feel alive (for years of the torment left covered in shame) Time lapsed while I couldn't breathe (cut from your pride, born from your pain) As we slowly fade away In the end your all buried to me
If callous hearts collide Could I re-open the wounds left scarred? To let those emotions bleed Of the ghost that's left of me
