lyrics

I exist, I'm alive, or at least i'm kinda breathing
and I've got no new day's sheathing
for this ugly hollow feeling to disguise,
and I don't really mind this time,
up to now I've been throwing and wasting my entire fucking stupid life.

So this time I won't go back home at night and my mind,
the more that I engage in it the more that I am mortified
so tell me why am I supposed to avoid
a troubled cure for a useless troubled fucking stupid mind?

Oh my!, I'm bubbling up inside and I got tired
of waiting for the dawn to bring the sunlight to my night
and melt the ice and cure me of this pain that keeps my lungs tight,

I cry inside and that's fine, so I tear my flesh
to draw my soul backlighting,
like a praying atheist choking in weight,
singing to embrace this light being
and take leave of this mundane earthly frame
of absence, same old sadness,
I better pack up and run away again,
and switch off the loudness of these visions I still find in fondness
and just forget that you were once my best friend.

In through dusk I hide from lantern lights.
Love the stars when shooting from your eyes.

I tear my flesh to draw my soul backlighting,
I'm a praying atheist choking in weight,
I sing to embrace this light being.
I'm just trying to make myself not care.
