Everything was going perfect until the domino fell
Causing a chain reaction
The pain took shape like a toothache with a vengeance
It gradually got worse and then spread like wildfire
I sprung into action and on day four of pain
I was at my wits' end
Unable to sleep, unable to think
With my hands tied, unable to work, I was disturbed
Howling at the pale moonlight
In agony and suffering
The wound won't heal
The feeling came over me like a heatwave
It was the worst feeling ever
I still haven't recovered
Even now I can't operate
I'm like a photocopy of myself
Trying to get through the day
I'm messed up in many ways
Just when I focus I start to sway
Wanting to spit out the truth
I feed myself bittersweet lies, lies, lies
Expanding like a blood vessel
Ignoring phone calls, surrounded by noise
I feel like I'm a ghost town falling apart like a sandcastle
I've dissolved into nothing
I can't fathom the swelling
I'm drained of energy
Can't move
Can't take the torture
I'm drained from the tenor
Creeping up on me like a nightmare
At the start of the year I never imagined I'd be here
Like a faltering flame in windy places
Unable to sleep, unable to think
With my hands tied, unable to work, I was disturbed
Howling at the pale moonlight
In agony and suffering.
