monkeys stop to breathe
while the sky starts to bleed
metal jackets fade away, nothing's there, it never stays
questions and their answers start to breed
the catharsis is calling
self-fabricated and free falling
in a place where thoughts won't hide, pain has died, and souls collide,
but you and your actions are stalling
i fade inside
open faced and white lied
slowly, you're breaking me, you whisper things that will never be
i drown in pools of vain pride
i burn and i bleed
i fight in my sleep
i peel what i'll never feel, sifting through what isn't real
and starve away what i used to feed
sometimes things just feel good
but those things are often misunderstood
they change, day to day, prevalent, then fade away
i would change you if i could
indifference hurts the most
it swallows, chews, and spits down my throat
i'm just another one, someone cool, maybe someone fun,
but what i put in is not when i get out
will i have my own secrets to hide
i know where my demons reside
i crawl in my skin and fumble around deep within
and all i see is that i'm naive and blind
so i give up, this is it
sick and tired of your inability to commit
soon you'll just be another one, someone cool, maybe someone fun
another one for my memory to omit.
so i will not burn i will not bleed
i will laugh in my sleep
a proclamation, on my own, weakness gone i've overthrown
you and your presence which i used to need
monkeys stop to breathe
while the sky starts to bleed
metal jackets fade away, nothing's there, it never stays
questions and their answers start to bleed
