My back so full of scrapes
With the miles I've walked of waste
Fade and fall away against
Numb my hunger to tasteWhat's the basis for change
Excuses to feed my ego's rage
Cling to my comfort to clench
Content with my sadistic wrenchFind every reason not to kill
The half way beast that steals my only peace
And don't expect it to rest till it's home
Is a naturalistic nestMy back so full of scrapes
(With another wound)
And the miles I've walked of waste
(With another scar)
Fade and fall away against
(With another scratch)
Numb my hunger to tasteBut there is no coincidence
And there is no compromiseRiseClose my grip on the floodgates
And lean on the back of the covenant
Sealed in dreams
Anticipate the backlashUncountable grins fade to screams
Doubts an ocean away on a sea
That my last mistake drowned unwillingly
And I don't have the trust to float inside
The waves that seek to spill meRiseUnrealistic ideals
Promises I can't keep
I don't have those luxuries
And I don't have the time you do to sleepAnd now it starts
And now it begins
I've waited too long for this
For your fear to interfere againSo now my vision's secured
