lyrics

I welcome these wall to embrace me as I sleep,

in a form of claustrophobic mercy.

My eyes like boards that I’m driving deep.

Hammering, till I cannot see.

I’m blind, nails are my sight.

Your deceitful gaze will be made a fool of by time.

Wasted was mine, wondering “why?”.

The paradoxical engine of apathy and anxiety.

Bears nothing but the breeding of ambiguous thoughts and self loathing misery.

Enclosed with me are my comforts and goodbyes.

A room with no doors measures a haven of bliss.

I refuse to repute the force fed lies compelling my eyes.

Partake in your delirious world of ignorance, oblivious

to the corruption of bitterness.

I never thought I would live to witness this

Room to room I roam, seeking a home to call my own

in the palace of perception.

I stumble on, bouncing wall to wall finding myself

in the room of reflection.

I’m in a chamber of mirrors, reflecting my fears.

Where I thought I’d find my peace of mind.

Through the halls I pass, a glimpse through glass

reveals where the horizon rears.

Since all I see are lies, I’ll stare into the sun until I’m blind.

A dreamless slumber should encase this cell around me.

Devolving myself into the calloused shell that’s haunting.

My sanity, in it’s final bid, renders me worthless.

Calling my bluff, this torture becomes masochistic.

If I dreamt, let it be sadistic.

The cracks in the panes of glass distort what I had envisioned.
