Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Suffocate
[Verse 2]
Choking, on your words again
My mirror image telling me I'm nearing the end
The reflection, no direction, need to sever the skin to stop the infection
[Verse 3]
Internal insurrection
[Verse 4]
Colourblind, entangled in lies
Chasing me with perfection
[Chorus]
I'm in a nightmare
The walls are closing in and I know
I'll die here,
The blackness just follows me in the
Silence,
Endless meanings all just filling
My head,
I guess I'm just better off dead
[Verse 5]
Drowning, in the blood again
I wish my consciousness inside could just comprehend
The dejection, caused by subjection, need to sever the skin to stop disconnection
[Verse 6]
In the dark I feel the teeth
I see the eyes staring down at me
Suffocating from underneath
Buried by you and I cannot BREATHE
I cannot breathe
[Verse 7]
Down, in the depths again, close my eyes instead, disappearing dread, parasitic premonition
Slaugher, of my self again, the infection spread, cannot apprehend, fading fast in rising water
Deep in the subversion
My fate is uncertain
I'm living in a -
[Chorus]
Nightmare
The walls are closing in and I know
I'll die here
The blackness just follows me in the
Silence
Endless meanings all just filling
My head
I guess I'm just better off dead
