The Past Tense

Treacherous memories just wanted to forget Madness my emergency exit I can close the door on all the dreadful things that happened Until I let myself slip And give into your sins Bleed the thoughts in the back your head Spinning over and over and over again Getting over and under and under the skin Spin spin spin Dragged through the five stages Now i'm sure I know what grief is I finally reached the point of stasis Roaming through these empty spaces Picking apart my brain as darkness permeates Forever stuck in retrograde In and out of attachment To avoid the hurt, to escape this madness Madness my emergency exit You can close the door on all that’s happened I let my sanity slip away It was the best decision I have ever made If you don’t want the guilt and you don’t want to feel the pain Follow me it’s easy you just do the same I let my sanity slip away It was the best decision I have ever made Gloom lays over me Gloom lays over me Slightly sadistic i'm off the edge, the abyss, the place where you don't care anymore Where all hope dies and your past screams Reducing yourself down to lunacy Gloom lays over me Twisted trains of thought, i've internalized this pain for so long
