lyrics

All these years spent wasting
All these months spent chasing
Who I was before rock bottom faced me
Trying to restore the broken glass
The hazy courage I had in the past
The golden days are nothing but a farce

Naively locked in
To the prison of poison
Your devilish lips
A perilous abyss
And the fear of knowing
The seeds I'm sowing

Every night with my thoughts in the dirt
Fearing my brain at its full power stage
Seizing our night for a morning of affray
The escape I seek gets further away
How do I end this tearup in my head?
And the all-consuming nightmare that words cannot express

I see you in my dreams
Weeks after letting go
Will I heal, I'll never know
I may have strength to show
But in the face of you
I am weak

Naively locked in
To the prison of poison
Your devilish lips
A perilous abyss
And the fear of knowing
The seeds I'm sowing
