Trapped behind my state of mind
I took your words and now I'm blind
And everything you've given just kills me
Your words swarm me through my soul like locusts
Eating away at any glimpse of focus
Their eyes flaming red like pain
Filling the void once righteous and bloodstained
But words can't kill the light inside me
That tears me from the hate that binds me
I feel it crawling up my spine
But I'll cut it off before it reaches the bloodline
You'll never fade me out, you'll never turn me off
You'll never reach the end, you'll never hear enough
You're half-grasp can't exterminate my stand
You can't rule with a broken upper hand
A fragment of what's been left behind
Trapped behind my state of mind
I took your words and now I'm blind
And everything you've given just kills me
Your face brings out the hate that rots me
The face of everyday that haunts me
I can't pull away my blank stare
A thousand times should prove I don't care
But hands can't steal the light that makes me
Or bring me to the fate that breaks me
I feel it crawling up my spine.
But I'll cut it off before it reaches the bloodline
You'll never fade me out, you'll never turn me off
You'll never reach the end, you'll never hear enough
You're the half-grasp can't exterminate my stand
You can't rule with a broken upper hand
A fragment of what's been left behind
Trapped behind my state of mind
I took your words and now I'm blind
And everything you've given just kills me
