lyrics

Overwhelming, oppressive force
The thought of never becoming more
So much noise that I cannot hear
The voices of doubt are becoming clear
Severed from the world that’s out there
The pain is worse than what I could bear

Try to run from fate
Before I can’t endure
Before it’s far too late
Distance feels far too real
Hide from all my past regrets
And turn away from those that I must face
To live today
Please save me from myself

Gone, exist as a ghost
A remnant of what I have lost
Try to run from fate
Hide from what I fear the most
Of what’s left
And of the broken life I’d built
End of the line for what hope
Remained before I reached for the rope

Anatomic dissonance
In a world that splits my divided attention
Endless waves of rage begin
To prolong the effects of the building tension
Overwhelmed and paranoid
Of a possible future that I still live in
Lying through my teeth and say
I’m okay as I wait for the day I stop breathing

I hope I get through to you
And see you awake again
This nightmare consuming you
But soon it will end

Try to run from fate
Before I can’t endure
Before it’s far too late
Distance feels far too real
Hide from all my past regrets
And turn away from those that I must face
To live today
Save me from myself
