[Verse 1]

I can feel the murky grip of a cold depression coming down

I can feel her hands around my neck, shake me to the ground

Ice burn of the soul, in light, in sickness and in death

Infected every word and every thought and every single breath

(On)


[Pre-Chorus]

Twisted by design, the creeps deep inside of me

Feeding off this hunger, rage, and the insecurity

Tempted by the rage, I feed off nothing but myself

Thirsty for the things that make me do this to myself


[Chorus]

My pen is dripping the words along

To scrape the smile off my face

Every detour leads me here

To shower in this waste


[Post-Chorus]

(You remember when we were friends?)

You are my friend

But now you're just living all over me


[Instrumental Break]


[Bridge]

You watch me when I get it right, you watch me when I fall

Watch me every single day, listen to every word I say

I swear I never wanted you, I never needed anything from you

Twisted, fucked up, lying words, asleep at the wheel


[Chorus]

My pen is dripping words along

To scrape the smile off my face

Every detour leads me here

To shower in this waste


[Outro]

You are my friend

(Every single day, I swear I never wanted you, I never needed anything from you)
