Days N' Daze - The Abliss lyrics

[Verse 1] Too many friends are asleep inside pine boxes Suicide by abuse of a toxins Cause it's easier to run away Then to deal with the bullsh** of the day to day And I really can't blame you Most days it's hard to find a scrap of hope Should've been there to help you cope But I was locked up in the brig Of the same damn boat [Chorus] Why should I sugarcoat it We're all gonna die If we escape the coarse easily coerced I guarantee next time I see you you'll be strapped down to a bed All cloaked in white Rotting from the inside out beneath fluorescent lights So For the love of God do as I say not as I do I may not care about myself But I care about you Kid I've been there and I've done that It ain't pretty it ain't worth it So trust me stay the f** away And you'll be okay [Verse 2: Scott Sturgeon] These lives are only ours to live These sins are just ours to forgive This stigma might wear thin A life in pain, a love in vain The veins & skin all weathered from a pin You never felt desire, might cast your soul on fire You can't understand their fear, ____ you refuse see them clearer Victims of this crooked game, (all) trapped inside a world insane You cast aside, mere shadows in a funhouse mirror [Chorus] Why should I sugarcoat it We're all gonna die If we escape the coarse easily coerced I guarantee next time I see you you'll be strapped down to a bed All cloaked in white Rotting from the inside out beneath fluorescent lights So For the love of God do as I say not as I do I may not care about myself But I care about you Kid I've been there and I've done that It ain't pretty it ain't worth it So trust me stay the f** away And you'll be okay [Outro] Life's a minefield a treacherous road Call me selfish but I don't want to travel it alone So burn the crutches and mend the bones Cause we've still got so many miles to go Stay awake stay alive We've been building our demons Through the comfort of lies With injections and bottles We poison the mind But don't crumble beneath Stay awake stay alive Stay awake stay alive Think of all of us here left behind I know it's painful The sickness contrived But you're stronger than you know So put up a fight​
