Variation

We lie cold
Dam up the river we can go slow
We don’t wanna know
Dull down our senses
Become numb
We take our time ignoring all the signs
Living in fear of our lies
Never bad enough to break it or good enough to feel right
Been in overtime half our lives
Under indecision, we become so dependent on the rush of the moment
Sanitize my head
Death murders everything in sight
Beneath the rip in the wind, the pillar push you aside
If I make way, I can taste your sigh
Just like the cannibal amp, it knows sound is size
Push me to the brink, I said
Well that bitch is a creep, it tried to know what I think
To breathe out passion, or suck in fate
You think the world was made to wield your weight and bleed out?
Am I the reason that you can’t look past your future self?
Got me believing you been stuck and glued in frequent doubt
I know the feeling cuz I can’t keep my mind open now
Make up your mind
We’re running out of time
Doubt is failure by design
I’m burning up
Can only take so much
I know you can feel it, it’s catching up
It’s getting too heavy for both of us
We lie cold
Dam up the river, we can go slow
We don’t wanna know
Dull down our senses
Become numb
Mirin myself all by myself
Feel the caress so sweet, done by my hand
Polishing this frame of mind, jacked it up an ax to grind
Duck ‘n dodge, stay unaligned
My recognition face
Some get withered, some get fried
I know we talked about the shit we did each time
Polishing this frame of mind, jacked it up an ax to grind
Duck ‘n dodge, stay unaligned
My recognition face
Am I the reason that you can’t look past your future self?
Got me believing you been stuck and glued in frequent doubt
I know the feeling cuz I can’t keep my mind open now
Am I the reason that you can’t look past your future self?
Got me believing you been stuck and glued in frequent doubt
I know the feeling cuz I can’t keep my mind open now
