I've tried to release these chains but they're only getting tighter Seems the walls close in sometimes but lately they're opening up wider I'm realizing I was left behind while the rest of the world expands Damn it's scary to be a phantom Held up for ransom it's more fun in hell but the past comes And it runs away quick Shedding blood just one more slit to the wrist Persistent under an otherworldly influence An occult insistence on the perversion of my nervous fluid I'm on probation haven't I paid my debts? I've erased all the places that I've went And when I reflect I see the pieces clearer Can't remember the past Only the mirror We disappear here There isn't a possible way to put it in verse In multiple words I've struggled to search All over the world when right along You were the heart of the bubble that burst The part of the rubble that burnt Began to learn you can't see numbers in the dark The street's a dream I'm driving toward a wrong turn And there's nothing to look back to The sky, the stars, distract you Panic sets in as the one you must surrender to At night it still remembers you Punishment I bet you're having fun with this Inevitably we are running in circles I thought the line was straight? Instead it's the hurtful calm that lurks and waits The fear that cured you of the disease That brought you here in the first place It gets dropped off and leaves I couldn't keep up with the seconds They continue to leak out Afraid of feeling desperate I have kept it All to myself Exceptionally bad timing It has led me to believe That there is no such thing as silence I've sensed it in a Book of Golden Precepts Must've been something I read went and did That made this mess I seem to have inherited Alone a d**h amends an end again My Severance I don't want another friend Yet there's nothing to look back to The sky, the stars, distract you Panic sets in it's the one you must surrender to At night it still remembers you
