lyrics

I take a breath
Of fresh poison
And hold it fast

It pierces each stratum of my mind
And I can’t let go
Bleating rocks crumble

The destruction is enticing
Caught in the whirlwind
Of losing my mind
And my footing

Deep down I rue
But can’t stop inhaling
As it burrows deeper in
There is freedom in chaos

From the penitentiary of myself
From the past and the present torn
I dare not exhale
The past catching up to me
Insists for me to breathe
For me to open my eyes
But I won’t exhale

I’ll burn the bridge to the future
And stand waving goodbye
To my hopes and dreams
And won’t feel a thing
Deep down I'll know
Life’s impending
And the flames will subside
But I can make addiction out of anything
