Razor's Edge
The crooked smile, expression repressed
Birthed from a rushing sweep of panic and distress
So temporary, so catatonic
The silhouette of silence is feeding off the flesh
A balance broken
Words you left unspoken
Burn the hope in me
The wound has been reopened
You'll never hear me
Signs and visions blurry
Burn the hope in me
Burn the hope in me
Watch me wash away
I'm walking lost inside a dream
With one foot in my grave
I can't escape, I can't escape
These artificial moments, suspended in stasis
Crafted from a twisted perception
So shed your sorrow and bitterness
Devoted to deception guided by the fix
A balance broken
Words you left unspoken
Burn the hope in me
The wound has been reopened
You'll never hear me
Signs and visions blurry
Burn the hope in me
Burn the hope in me
I let the poison in
A prison built around this mental affliction
I let the pain creep in
Reacquaint with the wicked
I called you out from the splinter of darkness
Watch me wash away
I'm walking lost inside a dream
With one foot in my grave
I can't escape, I can't escape this pain
Every step, every breath, all progress made
It ends with a glass tomb, a tomb I have chosen for myself
Compassion and transgression, fight and folly
Stricken with a confliction
That spreads like frost on a cold, winter night
With one purpose, and one destination
To breed a relentless fixation on provisional euphoria
Indiscriminate tracings
Holding the essence of human life
I breathe venom from the sharpest edge
Snatched the life from me, my soul taken on swift wings
I called you out from the splinter of darkness
Where I found
Where I found you dreaming
Birthed from a rushing sweep of panic and distress
So temporary, so catatonic
The silhouette of silence is feeding off the flesh
A balance broken
Words you left unspoken
Burn the hope in me
The wound has been reopened
You'll never hear me
Signs and visions blurry
Burn the hope in me
Burn the hope in me
Watch me wash away
I'm walking lost inside a dream
With one foot in my grave
I can't escape, I can't escape
These artificial moments, suspended in stasis
Crafted from a twisted perception
So shed your sorrow and bitterness
Devoted to deception guided by the fix
A balance broken
Words you left unspoken
Burn the hope in me
The wound has been reopened
You'll never hear me
Signs and visions blurry
Burn the hope in me
Burn the hope in me
I let the poison in
A prison built around this mental affliction
I let the pain creep in
Reacquaint with the wicked
I called you out from the splinter of darkness
Watch me wash away
I'm walking lost inside a dream
With one foot in my grave
I can't escape, I can't escape this pain
Every step, every breath, all progress made
It ends with a glass tomb, a tomb I have chosen for myself
Compassion and transgression, fight and folly
Stricken with a confliction
That spreads like frost on a cold, winter night
With one purpose, and one destination
To breed a relentless fixation on provisional euphoria
Indiscriminate tracings
Holding the essence of human life
I breathe venom from the sharpest edge
Snatched the life from me, my soul taken on swift wings
I called you out from the splinter of darkness
Where I found
Where I found you dreaming
