Lacerations

Paranoia taking hold of me
All my thoughts dismantling
Carried away on a tide of nothing
The fear of what could be happening

Do you feel it too
The ground opening
The clouds of judgement suffocating?

Are you alive
Living with a sinking feeling?
Oh, it's so hard to find
Tell me it's not too late

Are you alive
Or is it just a chemical feeling?
Won't you feed me a lie?
Tell me it's not too late

Do you feel it too
The group opening
The clouds of judgement suffocating?

You try and kill your shadow
But it engulfs you all
Frozen like bait
Your demons await

Are you alive
Or is it just a chemical feeling?
Won't you feed me a lie?
Tell me it's not too late

Are you satisfied
Living with a sinking feeling?
Won't you tell me I'm fine?
Tell me that my wounds aren't so bad

Frozen still in the throes of suffocation
Every thought becomes a laceration
Look through my eyes, you'll begin to see
That the world before you is not the same for me

Are you alive
Or is it just a chemical feeling?
Won't you feed me a lie?
Tell me it's not too late

Are you satisfied
Living with a sinking feeling?
Won't you tell me I'm fine?
Tell me that my wounds aren't so bad
