lyrics

A man stands hiding a large machine
His hand is stuck, you can see it in the way he tries to fight his own pose
The verge is close

The body's in vacancy, The last part of his decency struggles to regain control
It's taking its toll

The next few seconds will
Determine the nature and colour of his legacy
The Last Straw to break the
Back of the camel is being clutched and tucked away

Taking the blow once more creating an itch - you're withering
(Wet rug - accumulating grit in on your record spiraling out of touch)
Scratching, infecting, the rash on your skin - it's creeping
(Blank stare - concealing within all the recent you feel inside)

Talk to me please! Tell me about all of the burns you always hide
Is it hard to keep lying?
How many times? Have you barely been able to keep your wrath at bay?
Lost your way without saying

A slip of a nerve was all it took for our Circumstances to be turning upside down, her face disfigured in the carpet
Regret swells up and your desperation reveals itself, for the first seconds in a while you spoke your mind

Now you're scared of the marks you made - do you think that there are those
Who can look at you once and shake your hand and see what you've been doing?
The sweat runs down your side
You're open wide

The moment's passed and the blow is dealt
You crossed a threshold steep enough separate the world from your burdens
It'll never return

The stains on the living room floor
Speaks of a mind lost once and for all
Pushing far beyond the limit and speeding away past the point of no return

Taking the blow once more - scratching the plates that covers the
(Wet rug - accumulating grit in on your record spiraling out of touch)
Basement in which it lurks - does she deserve it?
(Blank stare - concealing within all the recent you feel inside)

How do you feel? Lost and disposed as your rage converts to fear
Is your eyesight clearer?
When did you turn?
Deranged to the point where your mother won't meet your gaze?
Don't say it's just a phase
