When the world away is slipping away
Everything you know is distorted
Perception is disjointed and fragmented
And you are a blur, trapped in a frozen waste land
How can you crawl away from this isolation?
When your strength is sucked out of you like blood from a stone
Inaudible voices offer you advice or criticise even the way you breathe
And all the while you feel like a Christ nailed to a cross
What can anyone say, what do you want to hear
If you’re stuck in this hole and this is all you know
Why leave when despite everything you actually feel at home
This after all, is what you deserve isn’t it?
Look back up into the abyss you are falling through
And I think if you hold your gaze just long enough
You will see a distant speck of light, and that is your secret hope
Waiting in silence, locked away like a dirty little secret
So there is a part of you that cannot stand feeling this way
A part of you transparently terrified, alone, isolated and mute
Whilst you’re self hatred is making friends with the wrong people
You become like a moth to a flame, flies feasting on shit
Some of us don’t know how to save ourselves, let alone anyone else
So we get used to the distortion and unfathomable emptiness
Laughing insanely, desperately proud of the insanity
Which is all we think we have to protect us from us
Self destruction is so passé and self pity is self indulgent
Love seems an unreachable series of sitcom style hallmark moments
So instead your fear becomes order and your hope becomes chaos
Just let go and imagine you could have everything you ever wanted
This is your life, not mine, and no miracle cure can save you
Are you hoping someone won’t notice but still wishing they did
Expression for my sake is my therapy, its release my focus
And the ups and down, the highs and lows pull me be back from the edge
I myself have become the muse
