Deadnest

Violent thoughts permeate the air
On a flooded vessel beyond repair
I'm plagued by silent fights and vindictive stares
Dreaming of a place anywhere but here
Lost in despair

Forever altered, I'm sinking into
The wretched abyss that was once my home
But what can I do?
Keep drowning it out

The stifled voices of reason
Are barely audible
Our bodies covered in lesions
Am I responsible?

Poison myself to pass the time
Feeding toxic habits to ease my mind
I'm bleeding from the inside, but out of sight
Screaming into the night for answers why
Living a lie

Forever altered, I'm sinking into
The wretched abyss that was once my home
But what can I do?
Keep drowning it out

Choke on the lies of the chosen one
Or sever the ties that are bound by blood

The lines are blurred (search for direction)
The mind is lost to indecision
Imprisoned, a vision
That faded into nothingness

The lines are blurred (sift through the wreckage)
The mind is lost to indecision
Imprisoned, a vision
That faded into nothingness

Another day
Another sense to dull
Can't run away
A path I'm meant to crawl

Forever altered, I'm sinking into
The wretched abyss that was once my home
But what can I do?
Keep drowning it out

We'll carry onward, ignoring the wounds
Inflicted by instruments of our own
Denial consumes
It's breaking me down

The stifled voices of reason
Are barely audible
Our bodies covered in lesions
And I am responsible
