[Verse 1]

Violent thoughts permeate the air

On a flooded vessel beyond repair

I'm plagued by silent fights and vindictive stares

Dreaming of a place anywhere but here

Lost in despair


[Chorus]

Forever altered, I'm sinking into

The wretched abyss that was once my home

But what can I do?

Keep drowning it out


[Post-Chorus]

The stifled voices of reason

Are barely audible

Our bodies covered in lesion

Am I responsiblе?


[Verse 2]

Poison myself to pass the time

Feeding toxic habits to еase my mind

I'm bleeding from the inside, but out of sight

Screaming into the night for answers why

Living a lie


[Chorus]

Forever altered, I'm sinking into

The wretched abyss that was once my home

But what can I do?

Keep drowning it out, oh


[Breakdown]

Choke on the lies of the chosen one

Or sever the ties that are bound by blood


[Bridge]

The lines are blurred (Search for direction)

The mind is lost to indecision

Imprisoned, a vision

That faded into nothingness

The lines are blurred (Sift through the wreckage)

The mind is lost to indecision

Imprisoned, a vision

That faded into nothingness

Another day

Another sense to dull

Can't run away

A path I'm meant to crawl


[Chorus]

Forever altered, I'm sinking into

The wretched abyss that was once my home

But what can I do?

Keep drowning it out

We'll carry onward, ignoring the wounds

Inflicted by instruments of our own

Denial consumes

It's breaking me down


[Post-Chorus]

The stifled voices of reason

Are barely audible

Our bodies covered in lesion

And I am responsible
