Misfire

Bitch

I've had enough of you

I'm crawling through

The corridor of thoughts

I can't erase

Shadows on the ceiling

Keep me locked

Inside this place

Every word I let out

Spins right back into me

I'm choking on my whispers

I'm lost at sea

Sometimes

I feel it slip away

Sometimes

I feel it clawing at my brain

And I don't want

To feel like this

But I can't cut the cord

All the truths

I tried to hide

Come crashing

Through my door

If every prayer

Is a loaded gun

Then I'll wait for it

To misfire

In these hollow echoes

That come undone

Burning up my inside

For my own desire

I'm standing

In the crossfire

Of the things

I never said

Words become a weapon

And my pride

Is hanging dead

My conscience

Is a parasite

That feeds on what I fear

I'm numb enough to notice

Still, the pain

Is always near

Sometimes I bleed

To find my way

And I don't want

To feel like this

But I can't cut the cord

All the truths

I tried to hide

Come crashing

Through my door

If every prayer

Is a loaded gun

Then I'll wait for it

To misfire

In these hollow echoes

That come undone

Burning up my insides

My own desire
