lyrics

The instant that the sun simply brushed on the horizon
The air felt stale and damp; crippling, damning silence
I opened up my eyes to try and take the light in
The burning just increased, I couldn't cease my crying
As rivers form beneath, my feet are slowly drowning
Becoming just a piece of an ever-growing problem
My inner-beast is rising as I fall deeper into darkness
Where's my inner peace?
Why can't I seem to find it?

I don't remember what it feels like to not be flying
I know it won't forever, but it feels like I'm dying
Cause cables got crossed on every pass
So I'm swingin' like a sailor off the tip of the mast
Just cutting through the clouds, rain pelting my face
Removing all that shrouds through a simple embrace
And all this pain that I feel now
It's insane, I don't know how
But I've got to refrain from doin' the same
Just retrain my brain before it drains and I'm left for dead
Don't wanna be left for dead

Movin' at a snail's pace
A lot of herb, little booze tends to keep me in place
Swimmin' through the grey matter
Find out how the day mattered
Thinkin' 'bout thoughts and how I wish they'd stay scattered
Oh, I'm reaching incoherent state
Though my eyes stay open wide looking for an escape, yeah
Well see you find me comatose
I'm simply sleeping awake
Running with your ghost
Running with your ghost through my dreamscape, yeah
When was the last time that we shared the same space
A little eye contact, a few words exchanged
Wait any longer, think I'll fade away
Just another life story lost to ink on a page

Yet I stay nestled deep on the highest shelf collecting dust
Nothing better to do than watch the hinges rust
See the time gets lost, can't remember when that door was shut
But I remember ever stitch, every cut
One day these legs will bend again
And they'll carry me across this floor
My hand would rest on doorknob
Ear stays pressed to the door
The silence that I'm engulfed in, it makes my vision poor
As I realize
As I realize
As I realize you've forgotten just like everyone before
