Lacerations

Paranoia taking hold of me
All my thoughts dismantling
Carried away on a tide of nothing
The fear of what could be happening

Do you feel it too?
The group opening
The clouds of judgment, suffocating

Are you alive
Living with a sinking feeling
It's so hard to find
Tell me it's not too late

Are you alive
Or is it just a chemical feeling
Won't you feed me a lie
Tell me it's not too late

Do you feel it too?
The group opening
The clouds of judgment, suffocating

You try and kill your shadow
But it engulfs you
Frozen like bait
Your demons await

Are you alive
Or is it just a chemical feeling
Won't you feed me a lie
Tell me it's not too late
Are you satisfied
Living with a sinking feeling
Won't you tell me I'm fine
Tell me that my wounds aren't so bad

Frozen still in the throes of suffocation
Every thought becomes a laceration

Look through my eyes, you'll begin to see
That the world before you
Is not the same for me

Are you alive
Or is it just a chemical feeling
Won't you feed me a lie
Tell me it's not too late
Are you satisfied
Living with a sinking feeling
Won't you tell me I'm fine
Tell me that my wounds aren't so bad
