lyrics

(spoken)
Oh damp prison, here it all dies
I recall much torment from past nights
What have I told myself?
...
Your words hang in the air
Where here may be

-

Lost, counting days
Left to breathe
A hundred million lies
I did not foresee

A confined cell
Where love lasts red
Is where I find myself
Alone, hung by a thread

Lacking deprived highs
From old pills
Dreaming of naught but
Being stilled

It’s hard to remember
Former moments
All but a promise to
Keep the present

-

Hair falling out in desperation, anguish
Numb bloodshot eyes dark in their sockets
Dried tears of past encounters here still glisten
A knife by my foot but that’s no option

-

(spoken)
And yet, I still kick
Why does this instinct persist?
The human self is foolish, indeed
May I never turn back, oh old humanity

My old humanity
Is gone...

-

Smashed broken fists on a
Door so cold
Red streaks glisten
Upon my hold

Restricted suicide is
What I recall
"Stay alive!" was the cry
Now, left here scrawled

Sitting, or dangling:
Closure is prolonged
May I choke at last long last?
I don't belong!

-

Hair falling out in desperation, anguish
Numb bloodshot eyes dark in their sockets
Brain-dead, sedated, stability thinning
Shotgun on the wall but that is no option

-

In isolation
Exist no peaceful dreams
Time ticks no more
In this place so bleak

In isolation
I find myself to be
You said "live"
So I curl up and agree...
