Walking eternal in the shadows of grace
Digging through photos to remember her face
You run for your life, yet you stay in one place
We try to escape our purposeless fate
We left it too late. Our demons have strayed
They jump out of our heart and into our head
They’re planning on staying they’re making theirs beds
They pull at my strings and push on my threads
Pressing these buttons till I’m seeing red
I called my therapist, and they called the Feds
I try to smile, but a frown comes instead
I hide my eyes from the tears I have bled
I dreamed I lived, but it was all in my head
You say it’s just worry, and I say it is dread
You say it’s just quitting, and I say it’s dead
Please don’t come closer. This’ll end in regret
Like a rat, when it’s cornered I’m gonna lash out
Like a fat man at Christmas I’m gonna pig out
I pray you’re not bothered when my secret comes out
I hope my true self won’t leave you in doubt
