Atrophy

Once again, you fail me Fragmenting; found myself in the void The pain influence, mental conduit Restricted breathing, grinding teeth My vessel, repeatedly you betray me In bold and italicized No escaping the words, burned behind my eyes I'm mesmerized Swept away Fallen victim to my own wishful thinking Déjà vu no avoiding you Introspect, a dead dialect Dear apathy, consoling me All my fears are falling on deaf ears Silence keep me safe I'm tethered to the trauma Oh doom and gloom (Oh doom and gloom) The medicine I choose as my muse Altered consciousness My favorite bandage Black cloud (Black cloud) my old companion There's something in the reflection that I see (That I see) Constantly reminding me of a mortal enemy Swept away Fallen victim to my own wishful thinking Déjà vu no avoiding you Introspect, a dead dialect Dear apathy, consoling me When the vessel fades The mind begins to follow suit I'm tethered to the trauma
