[Chorus]

Watch me as I suffocate

Medication to soothe my aches

Numbs my constant fear of change

Addiction is a slow decay

Watch me as I suffocate

Medication to soothe my aches

Restless shakes, bruised veins

God, will I ever fucking feel safe? Oh


[Verse 1]

I fell in love with my depression

The only thing that was consistent

I hated how empty I felt

But at least it kept me distant

Everything I love will slowly dissipate

Everyone I know will be ripped away

What's the fucking point? It's getting harder to pretend

How do escape the relativity in this?


[Hook]

Nothing is beautiful, nothing is forever

That thought alone strips me of my efforts

Nothing is beautiful, no nothing lasts forever

That thought alone strips me of my efforts


[Verse 2: Darius Tehrani]

Maybe when I'm older I won't be so scared to die

Maybe in time death won't be so fragile in my mind

I fell in love with my depression

The only thing that was consistent

I've hated how empty I've felt

But at least it's kept me distant

(Spite)


[Chorus]

Watch me as I suffocate

Medication to soothe my aches

Numbs my constant fear of change

Addiction is a slow decay

Watch me as I suffocate

Medication to soothe my aches

Restless shakes, bruised veins

God, will I ever fucking feel safe?


[Breakdown]

Addiction is a slow decay, oh


[Outro]

Feelings of neglect, feelings of regret

How the fuck could I ever forget?

I'm addicted to despondency

It bleeds into everything
