The landscape is different now

I’ll dig my hearts grave till it’s hollowed out

The match made a flame to burn it out

Will it fuel me

Or will it break me down

A time bomb

It’s all wrong

Praying my heart won’t stop

For so long

My head’s spawned

These creatures from the dark

These thoughts are imminent and everyone can see I’m slipping out

It doesn’t matter if I fight this

If the solution is a sickness

The catalyst

Will it lift me up

Or hang me out to dry

I’m convinced

If my world caves in

You’ll see there’s nothing left of mе

Repress this darkness

I’m scarеd that I might lose

The parts of me that want out

Trapped in a plastic tomb

Restock then try again to medicate the symptoms plaguing me

The meds are playing out

My life in copacetic

Wide panic

Fear takes me

But I try to forget

All the things that bury me

Remind me that it’s all in my head

When I lose myself again

Give yourself to me

Says the darkest part

That I have held so deep

Surrender everything

It just won’t let go

The catalyst

Will it lift me up

Or hang me out to dry

I’m convinced

If my world caves in

You’ll see there’s nothing left

I can’t fight this anymore

I’m convinced

You won’t see me

Death is now my catalyst

Catalyst

You won’t see me

Death is now my catalyst
