MASTER RECORDING LYRICS
FONT:
I'm at the end of my rope,
and I'm starting to choke.
The noose is tightening
around my throat.
It's strangling the hope
that's hiding in my soul,
I argue with myself because
I can't take control.
So drag me through the trough
with my Vietnam cough,
and take this straitjacket off.
I'm powerless and down,
and cracking from the stress.
Constricting like a python
as it tightens 'round my chest.
I gotta fucking death wish!
Fighting all my enemies,
wrecking all their fucking dreams.
My hands,
they bleed from the nails.
Fingers make a fist,
don't tell me I'm a fatalist.
Dancing 'round so frantically,
laughing so maniacally.
I can't escape insanity!
Trapped in my pain,
fight to keep myself sane.
Silent I scream, tortured by
these dark dreams.
So get the fuck away
from me and hide knives,
because I can't trust myself tonight.
I'll straight up lie and say
anything to make it alright.
You said you'd
love me till the end.
Now you want to end?
It's not the end till I say so!
Take your little razor blades,
cut me up and shed the pain.
Let them stitch my heart out,
black it out.
Hand print on the wall,
blood holds me in thrall.
Castrated by the butcher's
blade that severs all.
Trapped in my pain,
fight to keep myself sane.
Silent I scream, tortured by
these dark dreams.
Silent scream, tortured by
these dark dreams.
Trapped in my pain,
fight to keep myself sane.
Nails rake the skin in perfect rows,
spine shivers down from head to toe.
Feeling sicker every second that passes,
I vomit the pain as I puke till I gasp.
My breathing quickens,
heart starts to race,
the lines sink deeper
into my face!
Peel the filth away,
a sick bloody habit.
Pick through the scabs
as I sift through the maggots.
Tobacco stains and tar,
fingernails burnt and charred.
The smell of piss and rain,
the odor haunts my brain.
Psychotic thoughts
from Hell arise,
do I wanna let silence die?
Kill myself to survive,
needle in my arm and the damage
is done because I'm psychotic.
Psychotic thoughts
from Hell arise,
do I wanna let silence die?
Kill myself to survive,
needle in my arm and the damage
is done and I'm...
Trapped in my pain,
fight to keep myself sane.
Silent I scream, tortured by
these dark dreams.
Silent scream, tortured by
these dark dreams.
Trapped in my pain,
fight to keep myself sane.
