[Intro]

I never contemplaited from adolescence to a man

Why I'm so quiet, with little friends

Could the reason be I'm whispering to spirits?

Apparitions inside my head

I tried fighting off the demons

Until they showed me what I needed

Conjuring emotions and violent solutions

I let them burrow deeper and posses a part of me


[Verse 1]

Now I am one with the damned!

They're fucking tempting me!

The tension keeps rising!

Tell me it's alright to make wreckless decisons

Assert my vengeance!


[Verse 2]

I want to force them to feel what it's like to be

Still covered in the scars of past oppressors

Fortunately, I healed faster indulging in grief

Still, I'll never forgive what was done to me!


[Verse 3]

My escape is empty highways

A simple pen serves well as my weapon

After being held captive

Slightly considering death

Once one thing I loved was robbed from me


[Chorus]

Slicing a knife through the wrist was the first and final attempt

Leaving behind the mental abuse and emotional stress

I'm harmed, but finally free

When I think about it, I don't need help

I just inflicted scars to watch myself bleed

Maybe to realize how damaged I am internally

No longer supressing memories, the past had to be released!


[Bridge]

I'm not miserable now

Still you couldn't handle what transpires within my dreams

Incessant rambling, horrific crime scenes

If there was a god, he's punishing me

If there was a god, he's punishing me

For years of defiance and blasphemy


[Outro]

Where was my calm before or after the strom?

Where was my calm before or after the strom?

Even when I reach R.E.M. my mind is still at war

Even when I reach R.E.M. my mind is still at war
