Strangled by fear in the hour of penance
Eminent infamy
Submerged in silence, locked away
Behind an icy gaze
Who do you blame when you ache by your own hand?
An unceasing battle of sanity and sacrifice
Caught in the muck of morality
Indignation protruding gradually
A pattern of anger, relative stranger
One can only be bled so dry
Extinguish the flame, smother the shame
And run from the smoke, it’s only bait
Rescue and repair again
I’m falling and grasping for something to keep me from sinking
Drowning in self-loathing
Where is the escape?
How do I abandon myself?
No remorse for shutting down
Only regret for opening up
For being destroyed
Built to be broken by apathy spoken
No remorse for shutting down
Only regret for opening up
For being destroyed
Built to be broken by apathy spoken
Rescue and repair again
I’m falling and grasping for something to keep me from sinking
Drowning in self-loathing
Where is the escape?
How do I abandon myself?
