Waking Misery

I'm sinking into waking misery

Is this where it ends?

What is reality?

Self-inflicted despondency

Coming to terms with what I am feels more like pulling teeth

I'm hiding from the sunlight

I'm not afraid of the burn

Only the secrets it finds

I called your name in the darkest night

But no one's listening

I called your name but couldn't hear a thing

Mark my words, I won't believe

I saw your face but now I'm losing sight

Mark my words, I won't believe

I hear them say, "Follow me, follow me under"

I still believe I'm praying for, praying for release

Life will find a way

I've grown accustomed to losing sleep

With my dreams

Rotting away before they see the light

How have I become so distant?

I let the fire die inside of me

I hear them say, "Follow me, follow me under"

I still believe I'm praying for, praying for release

I hear them say, "Follow me, follow me under the water line"

I still believe I'm praying for, praying for release

Life will find a way

I've got guilt that feels like it's a noose around my neck

My faith was killing me

Every breath feels like the weight of my regret

My faith was killing me

My faith was killing me

I'm sinking into waking misery

Is this where it ends?

What is reality?

Self-inflicted despondency

Coming to terms with what I am feels more like pulling fucking teeth
