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
