It starts with a loss of faith, in god and love,
And it bleeds you like an open wound.
Then it starts to spiral,
Until you’ve had enough.
When do I find those endless fields?
But for now it’s:
Lights out.Pressure.Absence.Everything.
Never get to see the light.
It ends where it all started,
A dirty reflection, a fork in the road.
Now we’re one in the same,
Cold heart.
Empty.
(Fuck it)
I will try to find that peace,
but it’s still just:
Lights out.Pressure.Absence.Everything.
Sometimes it’s just easier to see everything through a pinhole perspective, a rotting camera lens.
Sometimes it’s just easier to choose sides like an argument through paper thin walls.
I’m not going to tell you it gets better
because I’m not sure that it does.
There will always be something because one day for everyone their world collapses, just falls apart.
When life becomes another word for coping,
filling that empty space from the bottom of a bottle or the eyes of another lost in your own right (still with us).
When everything you do seems to fail,
keep searching for that one thing
and never let it go.
Because you don't want that way.
And you don't let them win
But the thing you have to know is...
They are you.
Divide all the time. Divide. It’s only black and white you see.
Divide all the time. Divide. It’s only black and white you see.
Its grayscale silence,
Grayscale silence.
Bury me where nothing will grow.
Its grayscale silence,
Grayscale silence.
Bury me where nothing will grow.
