Hurts like hell around this time of year, when it cools down the lights disappear as do my words. I forgot how to conquer fear, it holds me down, whispers in my ear that I've lost. It's not my mind that drives me hazy, it's the meds that makes me crazy. It won't subside the fears that keep me up at night. My affliction fueled by my many prescriptions: I'm worried I can't seem find my peace of mind. I'm trapped by the weight of the cure breaks me down into disease underground. Held by the feeling of loss, rather than sense everything.

Run away from my indifference, it's a choice that has no substance, who you are is not on my conscience, you made your bed now lie in silence. Words like glass they cut infections, but for me, I see right through them. I write lines with false perfections, empty words that seem so useless. And you try to censor my thoughts with your conformance these days have withered away to gardens of deviance, You can't hold my life by the look in your eyes, I killed the part that craved your toxic gaze I'm in puzzle pieces, spread out on carpet slowly waiting to be completed. I don't need you, like you want me to. Lost my inhibition and swore it'd never come back screaming like a maniac I don't need you, like you so do We're a rose, prickly sides, wilted, and sure to soon die. You've got a lot of nerve to say I lie right to your face when I say I'll never come back to your door and stand in the cold but Turns out you never really knew me, that's okay, saved me in the end. So fuck your fantasies of my resilience crying "baby, I'm home". I don't need you, like you want me to. Lost my inhibition and swore it'd never come back screaming like a maniac I don't need you, like you so do We're a rose, prickly sides, wilted, and sure to soon die.

There's a part of me missing, I must've dropped it on the ground somewhere between all the times that you somehow let me down. I don't speak when I'm anxious; I'm a pile of clumsy sounds, an echo of meaning easily lost in the crowds. Don't speak, I can't breathe, it was all for you. Growing old is getting old, but we don't know what else to do 'cause I saw ghosts in the back of my head, crawled their way from the depths of my bed, told me to break out from here and face what I dred. There's a blackhole within me, it's slowly sinking deep into my system and the parts of you in my bloodstream. Maybe I don't mind it, maybe it does me good, maybe it shakes my core just the way that it should. Don't speak, I can't breathe, it was all for you. Growing old is getting old, but we don't know what else to do cause I saw ghosts in the back of my head, crawled their way from the depths of my bed, told me to break out from here and face what I dread. If I live with blackholes then, I crawl through my skin til they swallow all the remains that lie within. I can get over this. I can get over this.

Hindsight 02:58
Free falling through my head, it's better being dead. I don't know why. Guide me through the light I'm a pantomime in the sky. Fallen angels, slowly keeping time over me they tell me what I need, they tell me who I am cause I just don't know. Cause I just don't know. In a world that I've been taken away from heedlessly, I've built my bridges to stand the heat, in purgatory. Now I look back and think of all the words I drew, things I missed out on even as a shadow I have no clue what the hell I've become. Je le sens dans mes pieds et mes mains un feu qui meurt aussi vite que je tombe. 'Cause I want to be safe through the debris 'Cause I want to be brand new.
