Have you ever felt yourself slipping from reality
your mind in a state of perpetual darkness,
immersed beneath a sea of words
refusing to part your lips
unable to express, well... anything...
I\'ve got this darkness eating me alive
every thought over analysed...
all actions rehearsed in the mind
completely alone, yet well and truly surrounded
overthinking... over-killing myself...
Separated from reality by walls of our creation
constructed in long-forgotten phrases
remaining unspoken by our tight lips
leading pain down the path of internal agony,
without the ability to control our emotions…
Stuck, hiding from my demons
attempting to get up outa my feelings
hard to love when all you\'ve known is heartache
possessed by my own personal devil,
starving me of everything.
creativity skulks behind a wall
confidence is being flayed alive
no-one tries to save the angel from its confines
I run from shame, from embarrassment,
don\'t ask me how I deal...
truth is, I don\'t... nothing works
drugs, alcohol... it\'s all the same
I\'ll never get closure
the devil whispers I\'m never enough
he\'s been saying it so long I\'m inclined to believe him….
