lyrics

The same nothing in my room, laying in my bed. The same nothing as the walls that line my tired head. When I leave my body to get ravaged by anxiety, every breathe could be my last... I hope this madness passes fast

But I'm scared even knowing what's going on, knowing what's gonna happen. It doesn't matter--- it always feels like I'll pass faster...

PITCH. BLACK. The rope has slack. Killing time to make it out alive. And she said "it's all in your head!".... but repetition has me against the wall (remember, breathe, or you might fall) and she said "it's all in your head!".... but is it worth it in the end?

Are these my hands? She said instead, "I'm feeling faint!" and then she fled to wait it out. To bleed it out. To suck it out. To fuck it out. Say what you want--- it's not in my mind, my only concern is trying to SURVIVE. And I've been broken down, my name's covered in shit but nothing you say or do could be worse than THIS. Could be worse than...

PITCH. BLACK. The rope has slack. Killing time to make it out alive. And she said "it's all in your head!".... but repetition has me against the wall (remember, breathe, or you might fall) and she said "it's all in your head!".... but is it worth it in the end?

By definition I'm a lunatic, shaking in the dark.... The snow illuminated by the moon and stars that are supposed to make me strong. The trees I want to love cast shadows that chase me... The mind in my body sets traps of quivering nerves and painful synapses that throw me down (throw me down) bare and mental on the frozen ground...
and Mother is knocking... Mother is knocking... time is ticking...

madness is coming
