Razor's Edge

The crooked smile, expression repressed

Birthed from a rushing sweep of panic and distress

So temporary, so catatonic

The silhouette of silence is feeding off the flesh

A balance broken

Words you left unspoken

Burn the hope in me

The wound has been reopened

You'll never hear me

Signs and visions blurry

Burn the hope in me

Burn the hope in me

Watch me wash away

I'm walking lost inside a dream

With one foot in my grave

I can't escape, I can't escape

These artificial moments, suspended in stasis

Crafted from a twisted perception

So shed your sorrow and bitterness

Devoted to deception guided by the fix

A balance broken

Words you left unspoken

Burn the hope in me

The wound has been reopened

You'll never hear me

Signs and visions blurry

Burn the hope in me

Burn the hope in me

I let the poison in

A prison built around this mental affliction

I let the pain creep in

Reacquaint with the wicked

♪

I called you out from the splinter of darkness

Watch me wash away

I'm walking lost inside a dream

With one foot in my grave

I can't escape, I can't escape this pain

♪

Every step, every breath, all progress made

It ends with a glass tomb, a tomb I have chosen for myself

Compassion and transgression, fight and folly

Stricken with a confliction

That spreads like frost on a cold, winter night

With one purpose, and one destination

To breed a relentless fixation on provisional euphoria

Indiscriminate tracings

Holding the essence of human life

I breathe venom from the sharpest edge

Snatched the life from me, my soul taken on swift wings

♪

I called you out from the splinter of darkness

Where I found

Where I found you dreaming
