[Intro: Michael Veneris]
Ooh
Trapped underneath a cold and shimmering veil of lead
Invisible yet slowly drowning
Tied to a stone on the riverbed
A wilted rose fading in crescent moonlight hits the stream
The winter current pulls me under
Still yet unseen
[Verse 1: Michael Veneris]
Etching my errors
The crimson comforts me
Briefly pulls me out
Of the blackened sea
[Pre-Chorus: Michael Veneris]
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't talk, I can't think
Silently choking
I can't see, I can't breathe, I'm so numb, can't you see
My soul withdrawing?
[Chorus: Rebecca Horseman, Michael Veneris]
I know I'm playing with fire (Fire)
I just no longer have thе desire (Have thе desire)
I'm here, the wheels are turning (Wheels are turning)
But sweet release has me yearning (Has me yearning)
[Verse 2: Michael Veneris]
Staring down upon a rusted blade
The mirrors reflection of the candlelight, provides no warmth
Confusion setting in
Trapped in a room filled with hellish chatter
With nobody to be seen
I haven't felt like like myself for what appears to be eternity
[Pre-Chorus: Michael Veneris]
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't talk, I can't think
Silently choking
I can't see, I can't breathe, I'm so numb, can't you see
My soul withdrawing?
[Refrain: Michael Veneris]
Fading to grey, it's never ending
Clasping onto thorns just to feel something
[Chorus: Rebecca Horseman, Michael Veneris]
I know I'm playing with fire (Fire)
I just no longer have the desire (Have the desire)
I'm here, the wheels are turning (Wheels are turning)
But sweet release has me yearning (Has me yearning)
[Breakdown: Michael Veneris]
Fading to grey
Fading to grey
Fading to grey
Fuck your pity
The picture obscene
It must be a dream
The colours leaving
I'm yearning for sleep
Fading to grey
Fading to grey
Fading to grey
I just want to sleep
[Chorus: Rebecca Horseman, Michael Veneris]
I know I'm playing with fire (Fire)
I just no longer have the desire (Have the desire)
I'm here, the wheels are turning (Wheels are turning)
But sweet release has me yearning (Has me yearning)
[Outro: Michael Veneris]
Lustrous patterns, strewn across the bathroom walls
Staring into the cracked mirror
No reflection of me at all
I have managed to escape my fate
Immersed in a guilty sea
Collapsed onto the floor, I remain my own worst enemy
