lyrics

You’ve lost your grip so many times with words delivered by the wise.
With thirst and hunger left intact. You’re not allowed to feel this bad.
A confirmation of your fears. The hurting sting is present here.
Longing for a reason to belong to something.

Something real is what I’m aching for. Something to soothe,
An embrace that brings me warmth and control.

They gave you pointers to adore so you won’t feel it anymore.
Took out your nails so you can’t scratch the itch that just keeps coming back.
They told you not to feel and not to care. Like it would disappear that way!?
Like they will force you to grow cold. Their doctrine’s meant to make you numb.


Can you expect to cure an itch
when you are wired to the core to revolve ‘round it?
And all advices that are given are made in vain,
because they never understand this type of pain.
And what is left’s a mirror image hidden deep inside,
That’s festering and waiting to come with a big surprise,
As a reflection of the matters you try to hide.
You cannot take this carnal pleasure as an alibi!

I lost my senses by the sting and gathered what was left within.
To reach a new state of decay with pulsing hunger in my veins.

Grab my hand and pull me close. Give me shelter for all that is coming.
Break my mind and wake me up, because my urges are taking me over.

I feel the need! to embrace my darkness inside,
To liberate feelings that I tried to hide.
If love can’t be given, but taken away,
I choose my addiction and stick to those perverted ways.

And nothing’s here! and I know that it is all wrong,
but my eyes can’t let go of this sickened embrace.
I can only numb the fear and the pain,
it’s the one thing that keeps me from going completely insane.

Don’t you believe me when I give you my clichés and platitudes.
My arms around your shoulder will only tie the noose.

Take your claims and throw them out.
I stopped caring for your contradictions.
Poisoned thoughts in a status quo.
If liberty’s your concept then you should all learn to let go.

Something real was what I thought that I would find. Something to soothe. A world that views me with an open mind. Judgement’s rule. The conclusion is so sad. Denying eyes. Disapproving what is hidden deep inside.

Stop right there, don’t waste our time. We’ll pretend to listen.
You have been beside the lines. We will take care you will fit in.
Stop right there, you’ve wasted more than enough.?We can only pretend to care so much.?So you will see nature’s lies. For we
suppress what is hidden… inside.
