lyrics

I know I need to clear my head and repaint the interior
when I start to feel inferior
But that self hatred closes in on me
like an iron maiden
And all I can do is bang my head
Knives out, blades in
The daze fades in
As depression (w)raps around introspective poems that get dissected by friendly detectives
I’ll misdirect the sentiment, send compliments down
a road to hell paved with good intentions
I’m so lost in translation

My copacetic coping mechanisms have weaponized with cynicism
They’re holding me hostage and I’m exhausted
But I’m not as sad as you think i am
I just keep shooting myself in the foot
like I want to assasinate my own character
I’m just running in circles, creating barriers
my chemically imbalanced romance
is really just a slow dance of damage
but I’m actually okay, trust me

Love life like you only got one life, right?

sometimes the computer keys sink into me like teeth
and reach beneath the surface until I bleed poetry
I miss the days I wasn't so self aware
self conscious of the audience
that appreciate the honesty of human tragedy
under pressure, building friction
let it burst and bloom until it lacks definition
I keep going off the rails on a
crazy train of thought process
off topic but I can't stop it
it whispers in my ear
"what'cha gonna do, when this mania runs wild on you?"
