Destroy Create
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Goodbyes were said
Before I lost all sense of consequence
At midnight tearing down
I hold it under
By the neck
The cold eyed creature of my consciousness
I can't sleep before it drowns
I hold it under
It took years to get this good
At sending myself
Into oblivion
Into oblivion
I am almost there
I am almost there again
If I don't wanna die
Why do I need the nothing?
Who am I anyway?
Why do I always have to destroy to create?
Backstage in the mirror
(Oh, I bet you are!)
Caught up in stories about how my former glory is lost
And how I used to be better
(You were never good!)
I agree, but that still leaves me with two choices
And one is isolate myself
And drink too much and burn it down
And two is to just quit
But I can't do it, I'm over committed
So number one it is
Right or wrong, the map that finds these songs
Always sends me
Into oblivion
Into oblivion
I am almost there
I am almost there again
If I don't wanna die
Why do I need the nothing?
Who am I anyway?
Why do I always have to destroy to create?
Looking for a light
In this darkness
All the lonely nights
Traveling
Into oblivion
Into oblivion
I am almost there
I am almost there again
If I don't wanna die
Why do I need the nothing?
Who am I anyway?
Why do I always have to destroy to create?
