lyrics

I left this world in the back of a hearse
Kissed death on her lips like we were cursed
You wanted to jump, I said, “I’ll go first”
Wrote my suicide note in the form a verse
This is the essence of depravity
I’ve caught onto the inconsistencies of reality
Made my way through the muck and the mire
And discovered the products of my desire
I’m in close proximity to insanity
My delirium is rooted deep in my vanity
You can touch me all you want but I’m not really there
You can scream all you like but in the end no one cares
I’m just a patient traveler of the astral plain
The devil and god are raging inside of my brain
You weren’t looking for love, just someone to blame
I’m not down for being your patsy today

Our robotussin eyes matched our liquored up lies
I only did what I had to do to survive
Armed with cough syrup to tranquilize your drive
The only way to escape this life is to get high or die
That’s what you said when the cards were stacked against
You and I, we were like Bonnie & Clyde on Dextromethorphan
The voices in my head sound like the chorus of the dead
We had a secret to hide; I think it’s time to show them
This is me wrapped up in all of my greed and insincerity
I’m the worst person when I bleed just to catch a reprieve
Can’t you see that I didn’t like what I was becoming?
I had to go through hell to see what hand was worth showing
It turns out the deck was stacked in favor of me growing
I had to leave behind the seeds of life that you were sowing
You found comfort in that bottle, a legal remedy
In an effort to escape your life-long agony
But that just leaves me in between a rock and a hard place
To face what life has left me with or to escape
That’s the pessimist’s dilemma, to be or not to be
If life weren’t this difficult would it still be worth living?
I’m searching for a means; you’re searching for an end
You hoped this wasn’t really happening but it is
I’m searching for a purpose; you’re searching for a fix
You couldn’t face reality while I learned to get a grip
