Hanging by a thread
Afflictionary dread
The blades have lost their edge
Just how much have I bled?
They think they know the way it goes
But they're all slaves to something
I lie alone, innards and bones
And yet I crave for something
Imaginary cards
I write myself at large
I share them with the dark
But no one answers
I think I know the way it goes
But I'm a slave to something
I don't suppose I could atone
Thousands of sins and counting
Beneath the fold, the highs and lows
They keep my conscience guessing
So take the throne, now I'll propose
A way to end my suffering

Stay out of sight
Following the signs
Crushed before a sullen plight
I face the moon and hold the light inside
It burns, it sears, and I can't fight
So I push my nails through my eyes
I'm blind
She whispers in my mind
"Imbibe in fantasy tonight"
I try, these dreams I hold so tight
Contrived reality resigns
Touched, its in my skin
Clawing to get out
Take a drink and you'll be fine
Elixir blends and smooths the lines
And I think that I could even cry
So I push my hands into my eyes
I'm blind
She whispers in my mind
"Imbibe in fantasy tonight"
I try, these dreams I hold so tight
Contrived reality resigns

Cross beyond all sanity
Filled with sudden urgency
Phrases from this liturgy come washing up inside of me
All modern sensibility is gone
Cathedral doors are open wide
A soul emerges from inside
Questioning this shade of grey that's circling like birds of prey
I can't remember if today's the last
Fear of sanctioning undeath
Steered to a suicidal pact
Aggregate conspiracy, ventriloquist disunity
Dissociate and you will see you're mine
Sitting in the chair again
Sedative, my brain stretched thin
Back and forth I shake my head, wondering if nothing's left
Maybe I'll feel blissful when I'm dead
Fear of sanctioning undeath
Steered to a suicidal pact
Aggregate conspiracy, ventriloquist disunity
Dissociate and you will see you're mine
Smeared with imperfected flesh
Feeling inside I can't repress
Living out a tragedy constructed out of fallacies
Transient soul atrophies in time

Fading life aphelion
Will I lay here until the end?
Broken will, I fall again
Why should I get another chance?
Walked upon as shattered glass
Drawing blood yet turned to ash
What's this taste dripped from the gash?
Flavor brings memories back
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
Writing on the wall today
Etched within a fervored haze
Product of her suffering
Read the runes, what do they say?
"Pull the blade, pull the knife, drain it all, your crimson life"
"You don't love, you don't cry, emotionless, you're pesticide"
"Bane to all you've ever vied to gain affection, pathetic bribe"
"Don't be fooled by their lies, its disgust inside their eyes"
"Who are you?" I ask myself
"Who are you?" I ask myself
"Who are you?" I ask myself
"Who are you?" I ask myself
